Body Eclectic
The first poetry anthology for teens to address one of their foremost concerns-the body. Experienced anthologist and teacher Patrice Vecchione has put together an immensely powerful group of poems, all of which address a unifying theme of major interest to teens-the body. Drawing on poems both serious and silly and poets from Shakespeare to Lucille Clifton, The Body Eclectic looks at what our bodies are, what they are not, how we love them and taunt them, what they give us, and what they take away.A wonderful collection of poems on a hot topic for teens, and a perfect gift and companion in one of the most universal struggles of adolescence.

Simply Great for Teens/Youth
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is a great read for youths who are just getting interested in poetry and/or learning about the physical or emotional aspects of life. Although I'm not really in the target age bracket for this book, I did read it and I really enjoyed it.
Poetry at its Finest
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Finally, an anthology which addresses the human body, soul and universal experiences. Ms. Vecchione shows an astute eye when it comes to picking poetry and prose that is both remarkable and accessible. You don't have be a lit major to enjoy this book. While well known poets (i.e. Whitman, Woolf and Lewis Carroll) are represented here, lesser known contemporary writers are also given equal space.
