[MOSAIC] Poetry author

[Carol Carlson]

Hi, all,

I am doing some work from home and am wracking my brain trying to  
remember the author of the following:

He wrote a series of books that are teens you would find in an  
adolescent classroom.
I thought the author was Mel Close, but can't find anything on Amazon.
He was an English teacher and I know there are several different  
titles he wrote.

Help!

Carol
