Jack doesn't like poetry and thinks it's only meant for girls. Throughout the year, he begins to find value in his own self-expression as he comes to terms with his dog's death. Jack shares his thoughts of poets such as William Carlos Williams and Walter Dean Myers in this delightful, free-verse novel.
