The poetry in this book spans generations, so that Emily Dickinson may rub shoulders with Valerie Worth, Isabella Gardner with Jelaluddin Rumi, or Jack Prelutsky with Walt Whitman. Each poem has been selected for how it relates to a particular ecological theme, and the editorial notes fall into the background, giving each poem room to be understood on its own terms. An audio CD in the back contains 44 poems read by 20 poets and artists. (Miller Library Staff)
An anthology of more than 100 poems celebrating the wonders of the natural world and encouraging environmental awareness. Includes an audio CD that comprises readings of 44 of the poems, many performed by the poets themselves.
Recommended for primary school (age 6-12) and up and for parents and teachers.
