Illustrated by
Don Carter.
From "Sink" ("All mouth / wide open, hollow. / Will hold water / or--swallow") to "Corners" ("They are the reason / walls meet, / and rooms consider themselves / complete"), these very short poems about anything one might find in a house will delight and surprise the reader with their playful images and metaphors. The brightly painted three-dimensional artwork creates a cheerful setting to complement the poems.
