(3) 4-6 Less poetry than a collection of verbal and visual observations, these musings are shot through with Stevenson's wry scrutiny of, and appreciation for, the world around him. For example, in "Aloe," the words "We have reason to believe / that our aloe / dreams of becoming / an octopus" undulate along a sketch of the plant's "tentacles." Spare but appealing, these poetic ponderings render the ordinary fresh.
