WHAT IS BOOK SPINE POETRY?
Book Spine Poetry is a free verse poem composed by:
  • using the titles written on the spines of physical books
  • and stacking the books on top on one another

There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, ($20, $30, $50 gift cards for Chapters). The Page Turners and I will decide the winners. In addition, the top poems will be entered into the SAME BIG contest being put on by the Sask Library Association.
