POISONED
APPLES
âOver and over again, Christine Heppermannâs poems reveal the worm in the messages young women get about love, sex, food, and bodies. These poems cast a harrowing but irresistible disenchantment.â
âSara Zarr, author of National Book Award finalist Story of a Girl
âHeppermannâs collection of teen angst is like a velvet bag full of gems to be poured out into the palm, held up to the light, studied, and saved to be brought out again and again on fitting occasions.â
âKaren Hesse, author of Newbery Medalâwinning Out of the Dust
âThe fairy tale path, dirt and cobblestone, weaves through a dark wood. The fast shiny freeway of now zooms past where the woods used to be. Sometimes the path and the freeway intersect. Sometimes they are the same road. Christine Heppermannâs amazing poems come from each of these places. They are moving, mind-bending, sad, and ambivalent poems. But they are also really funny and, in the end, triumphant.â
âLynne Rae Perkins, author of Newbery Medalâwinning Criss Cross
âThis powerful and provocative exploration of body image, media, and love broke my heart and made me gasp aloud with its relentless truth. Dark, unsettling, and altogether brilliant.â
âRae Carson, author of New York Times âbestselling The Girl of Fire and Thorns
âAnyone can read these wonderful poems, but I know women and girls especially will open Poisoned Apples and immediately tell their friends, show their friends, loan the book out, get it back, read it again and again until the cover falls off.â
âRon Koertge, author of the acclaimed Stoner & Spaz
âChristine Heppermann writes with a brilliant wizardâs pen. If redemption comes to us in stunning, sidelong ways, via metaphor, parallel thinking, reshaped tales with new characters who might be us, this is a book that will save. Not only you, but so many people you know. Take a look.â
âNaomi Shihab Nye, author of National Book Award finalist 19 Varieties of Gazelle
â Poisoned Apples is simply phenomenal. Heppermannâs honest voice grabs the reader with urgency. This collection is a champion for teens and adults who see our world as an advertisement for perfection that doesnât exist. Readers will want to read these poems aloud over and over again.â
âA. S. King, author of Printz Honor book Ask the Passengers
âA bloody poetic attack on the beauty myth thatâs caustic, funny, and heartbreaking.â
âE. Lockhart, author of National Book Award finalist The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks
