I love your idea for poetry pairings and a study of extended metaphor. As Myra said, Laura's book has popped up in many recent reviews, and will be a great addition to my classroom library.

I smiled a little bit when I saw 'snake concealer' - I just discovered a snake (striped kukri snake) inside my house three nights ago - it was shocking, scary and exciting all in the same breath. Thank you for sharing this. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-85443514948404532232012-02-03T22:36:23.943-05:002012-02-03T22:36:23.943-05:00Trees are one of my favorite subjects, so I have b...Trees are one of my favorite subjects, so I have been especially excited about this book.
