Illustrated by
Robert Rayevsky.
This collection includes a few classic poems; most of the works, though, are new and fresh. They range widely in tone from the frivolous to the heartfelt, and the book flows beautifully from subject to subject. Rayevsky's brush-inked and watercolor illustrations add visual appeal and gentle humor without overwhelming the words. Surprising and inspiring.
