Imperfect II: poems about perspective: an anthology for middle schoolers

Written by Tabatha Yeatts (Editor) and Laura Shovan & Liz Garton Scanlon (Contributors)
Being human means to sometimes lose perspective. We focus on the one negative comment we received instead of the ten positive ones. We think we're the only person who has had something really embarrassing happen to us, or that a problem we're having will go on forever. When we've lost sight of the big picture, how can we help ourselves put things back in perspective? Poetry can lend a hand.
