Old
Elm Speaks: Tree Poems
by Kristine O'Connell George, Kate Kiesler (Illustrator)
Price: $12.00
Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours.
Avg customer rating: 5 stars
Trees have voices, thoughts, feelings, eyes, and even a soul. They speak in free
verse, rhyme and even haiku (aren't they well educated?).
Although not all poetry in this collection speaks through the trees (some speak
through tree observers), this is the basic premise of George's book: if trees could
talk, what would they tell you?
The poetry is complemented beautifully with oil paintings by Kate Kiesler.

This collection of earthly poetry (and prose) is written by women.
Some familiar, some contemporary, some long gone. The range of authors

the fact that they are all female, make this book extraordinary and

Once
upon Ice : And Other Frozen Poems
by Jane Yolen (Editor),
Jason Stemple (Photographer)
Price: $14.36
Availability: This title usually ships
within 2-3 days.
Mix seventeen poets and a bunch of pictures of ice, and what do you get?
If you would have the poets write down their responses to the ice
you could have published a book.
Jane Yolen took on the task to hand pick the best, and only the best
complements to Jason Stemple's photographs, even sometimes picking two
poems to go alongside the same picture. The descriptions of the
frozen phenomenon will leave you amused, suprised, and thought provoked.
