When Mrs.Merz asks her sixth grade class to write poems of apology, they end up liking their poems so much that they decide to put them together into a book.Not only that, but they get the people to whom they apologized to write poems back.
In haiku, pantoums, two-part poems, snippets, and rhymes, Mrs.Merz's class writes of crushes, overbearing parents, loving and losing pets, and more.Some poets are deeply sorry; some not at all.Some are forgiven; some are not.In each pair of poems a relationship, a connection, is revealed.
