Illustrated by
Tom Pohrt.
Inspired by a visit to the Galápagos Islands, the author penned thirty-four poems paying tribute to its flora and fauna. The poems are full of keen observations, rich images, and an underlying environmentalist concern for habitat preservation. Undistinguished black-and-white drawings illustrate the slim volume, which contains a map and an author's note.
