This Is Just to Say: Poems of Apology and Forgiveness

At first, I was shocked to see the Bluebonnet committee had nominated two books of poetry this year. Two books of poetry! Then I reconsidered this idea...Why not? If you can have almost half your choices be realistic fiction, why not have two books of poetry? I was moderately interested in the idea behind this book, stories told using a poem of apology and a response poem.
