📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.

Student Workbook + Teacher's Edition
Help your teen build the lifelong habit of reading, memorizing, and discussing serious poetry.
The Grade 11 Poetry Companion accompanies the Cornerstone Academics literature curriculum with 36 poems, one for each week of the school year. At this level the poems are about mastery and the strange mercy of skill — the carpenter who steps back from the bench as the apprentice finds the rhythm without being taught it, the cabinetmaker who sees commissions for grand staircases and returns to his oak and ash and pine. Students learn to read verse in which silence carries as much weight as statement, and in which what a craftsman does not say is as precise as what he does.
