Jean Cassels.
This collection of poems presents the reader with fresh observations of wildlife, from an appreciation of the rat in spite of its repugnant nature, to a recognition of the oneness of a starfish and human, to a haiku-like musing on day-old chicks. The poems, both free verse and rhyming, are accompanied by realistic watercolors in soft, muted earth tones.
