Some teachers stay with you forever. This book is for them — and for the students they shaped.

Final Exam: Poems About Teachers and Their Students brings together 85 poems by luminaries including Billy Collins, Seamus Heaney, Louise Erdrich, Mary Karr, and Jane Kenyon — and the many remarkable lesser-known poets they share company with. Edited by J. Barry Koops — teacher, professor, headmaster, and poet — it is a tribute to the teaching life, and to the profound, lasting bond between those who teach and those who learn.

The perfect gift for a graduating senior, a beloved professor, a retiring teacher, or anyone who has ever been changed by a classroom.
