Making Hay
"Thirst-quenching," "luminous," "enchanting": Here are poems to ravish old souls, feed hungry minds, and seduce the pickiest fan of fine writing. Award-winning journalist and author Diana McLellan and New Yorker artist Peter Steiner merge wits and wisdom to create a unique book of her verse, his illustration -- poems of love, of wonder, of loss, of growing old. Raves one critic, "Essential! As in, gets to the essence of things."
