" . . . satisfies in every way." --School Library Journal
. . . an attractive large-size volume . . . Sorensen's handsome watercolor illustrations capture the feel of the New England landscape without in any way trying to provide literal images for the poetry. There's an excellent biographical essay... --Booklist
...superb; the poems are introduced in a tone that is informative but not pedantic. --Publishers Weekly
" . . . thoughtfully compiled and brilliantly illustrated. --Buzz Weekly
