Wet Cement: A Mix of Concrete Poems
By Bob Raczka
Roaring Book Press, 2016. 44 p.
April is National Poetry Month. And today is April Foolās Day. Wet Cement is both a book of poems and a book that will elicit some chuckles. Making this the perfect book to talk about today! Raczka cleverly creates concrete poetryāwith images that are just as important as the actual text of the poem. Children in elementary school will laugh at the ending of the poem āClockā. The rhythm of the poem āDominoesā is clever and feels just like a bunch of dominoes set up to fall over. And the āpop-upā poem made me laugh out loud.
This is a good book for those that love poetry, those that love to share poetry, or those who are just discovering poetry. Check it out, and happy National Poetry Month!
