A Wreath for Emmett Till

40 pp. | Houghton | April, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-618-39752-3 $17.00
(2) YA Illustrated by Philippe Lardy. Nelson represents the story of Emmett Till's brutal murder in 1955 in a complex heroic crown of sonnets, a sequence of fifteen interlinked sonnets. The elegant formality of the text, with its subtle power of tone and diction, is accentuated by Lardy's stylized, symbolically abstracted illustrations.
