LIFELINES: A POETRY ANTHOLOGY PATTERNED ON THE STAGES OF LIFE 80 poems chronicle the ages and stages of life from infancy and childhood to old age and death. Illustrated with photographs by Imogen Cunningham, Bruce Davidson, and others. "One of those fine anthologies whose whole is greater than the sum of its excellent parts." - Kirkus (pointer review) "This is such a good idea. Leonard Marcus has woven a wonderful variety of poets and their poems into a fascinating running commentary on that most individual and universal of journeys: the one from birth to death." - Karla Kuskin See Awards and Reviews |

MOTHER GOOSE'S LITTLE MISFORTUNES When things go wildly wrong in each of these Mother Goose rhymes- some familiar, others sure to be new-the result is sheer fun for readers. With high-spirited illustrations by Amy Schwartz. "[Among] the finest [nursery rhyme collections] produced for children." - Anita Silvey, Children's Books and Their Creators "A charmingly ideosyncratic selection of 18 nursery rhymes that, as Marcus says in his excellent introduction, 'remind us all of the supreme virtue of being able to laugh at oneself.' . . . Not to be missed." - Kirkus (pointer review) See Awards and Reviews |
