Photographs by
Jason Stemple.
Striking photographs of objects such as a golden leaf, a pink thistle, and orange lichen on a rock provide the inspiration for these poems about nature. Yolen uses haiku, blank verse, and rhyming poems to create interesting images. In her foreword, she urges readers to write their own poetry in response to the photographs.
