From the back cover of MAKING ‘METAPHOR POEMS’ BY SIMILE & RHYME: A GUIDE FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS:
Leland Jamieson is a poet and author of two collections of poetry, 21ST CENTURY BREAD: Short Rhyming Poems Post-9/11 (2007) and IN VITRO: New Short Rhyming Poems Post-9/11 (2009). He lives and writes in East Hampton, Connecticut.
Realizing school budgets for the arts are always tight, and that many schools lack a Poet in the Schools Program, Jamieson has written an affordable guide for teachers that addresses this problem in a novel and creative, highly participatory manner.
Moreover, it carries poetry-making to a new level through its teacher-directed, student-generated use of simile and metaphor created by "Reverse Rhyming." Out of this students evolve metaphors they own in poems they craft with natural, unforced rhyme.
The 42-page guide reprints, from the author's first book, 16 poems with broad appeal to teens. It identifies similes and metaphors in each. Plus, it models for the teacher how, when encountered in the classroom, to win over students initially resistant to poetry, using a process that helps them become active contributors.
