Description

"Tom Pohrt spent years gathering those poems of Wendell Berry's he imagined children might read and appreciate, making sketches to accompany his selection. Over the past several years a dialogue has evolved in which the poet has come to advise the illustrator on the natural history of the animals and plants seen so intimately in the poems ... The resulting volume of twenty-one poems includes dozens of watercolors in what amounts to a visual meditation on the poem they work to illustrate"--Dust jacket flap.

This is a sweet book of poems about nature by one of my favorite authors. The illustrations are striking. I like looking at nature through Berry's eyes and seeing his reverence for the complex simplicity and omnipotence of it.
