Step Lightly: Poems for the JourneyNancy Willard Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1998 - 99 Seiten The poems in this collection come from Nancy Willard's cardboard boxes--she's collected them to accompany her on her journey through life, and she hopes young people will take them along on their own adventures. Works by well-known poets--Elizabeth Bishop, e. e. cummings, Emily Dickinson, and Wallace Stevens--are gathered here, along with verse from lesser known writers from other countries and other times. All of the poems in "Step Lightly" share a common readability, and the spark of joy that caught a remarkable poet's eye. |
