2018, Nosy Crow
HC $40.00
333 pgs.
Goodreads rating: 4.42 - 12 ratings
My rating: 5
Endpapers: Cut out oak leaves (from different papers) on white
My comments: A gorgeously illustrated volume of nature poetry from authors old and new. The cover doesn't do it justice. Outstanding addition to any library - though extremely heavy, might be a bit difficult for a younger child to hold and covet....
Keep a Poem in Your Pocket
Keep a poem in your pocket
and a picture in your head
and you'll never feel lonely
at night when you're in bed.
The little poem will sing to you
the little picture bring to you
a dozen dreams to dance to you
at night when you're in bed.
So ---
Keep a picture in your pcoket
and a poem in your head
and you'll never feel lonely
at night when you're in bed.

January
is
A
clean white sheet, newly-ironed
An
empty page:
A
field of freshly-fallen snow
Waiting
to be mapped
By
our footsteps.
