We had a former student pass away and a generous individual donated money to purchase books in her honor.  When I approached the family about what kind of books to buy, they recommended her favorite title and then suggested purchasing poetry books.  Suggestions?

First, I am looking for some nonfiction suggestions, collections that kids check out or books that advise students on how to write poetry.

Second, novels in poetry.  I have a lot of novels in poetry already, but if you have a newer (or overlooked) favorite I would be interested to learn that too.

We are a 7-8 school.  Thanks for any help you can give!
