How to (Un)cage a Girl

(2) YA This three-part collection includes forty-five autobiographical poems. Part one details Block's teenage years; part two follows her as an adult; part three contains "Love Poems for Girls." Readers will welcome advice from someone who not only understands their pain but also comes out a survivor. Block's poetry embraces the dark and the light: her heartfelt advice acknowledges both roses and thorns.
