A Haiku or a Dadaist verse is not the first thing one turns to after a painful experience. For Abhir Suri, a 12th grade student from The Cathedral and John Connon School, poetry showed a path past the pain. His latest book of verse, Sunglasses and Duct Tape (Notion Press), includes 23 poems that delve into personal and teenage experiences from junk food to love and bullying. Launched earlier this week at a Kemps Corner bookstore, it marks the teenager’s discovery of poetry.
