Hachiko by Yan Nascimbene
Poetry. Oblique, intelligent, and sad, THE LILY WIL introduces readers to a voice beautifully sustained through compressed lyrics and long, meticulous sequences. The geography of this book is one of thistles and ice, love flashed with fear, and frail bodies seeking safety in heavy weather. In its warped miniatures (here an eye, there a red leaf, seen distended through iced glass) there is a commitment to smallness, vulnerability marked by precision, and intimations, too, of the eternal: What is earthly? / An impulse to paradise.PAMELA S.TURNER is the author of several award-winning children's books, including Gorilla Doctors: Rescue Endangered Great Apes, a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year and an ALA Notable Book. She is a resident of Oakland, California.
