Leslie Evans.
Each of the nineteen poems in this slim volume takes a different poetic form (e.g., Shakespearean sonnet for "Wolf Spider Mama") to convey information on the bug in question, to varying degrees of success. In addition to some creative design, Evans's linoleum block and watercolor prints add visual interest. Notes on the poetry forms are included. Reading list, websites. Glos.
