J. Patrick Lewis is an American poet. He is the author of more than 80 children’s books. Lewis’ books relate to history, geography, mathematics, and science. Through his acrostic poetry, Lewis invokes connotations with the use of hyperboles and as he plays with the shape of the text. J. Patrick Lewis’ poetry is witty and simply beautiful.
This was very informative. I do not know much about poetry, but this was very interesting. It was cool to learn about his birth and all his books. I really liked this author presentation. I think you did a great job informing us about Mr. Lewis.
He seems like an interesting author. I though it was funny that this is the second author I see here that studied to be an economist. Unlike other authors his poems seem like they are not just for fun but for actually learning. I think he would be good to use in older elementary classrooms.
