<DIV><B>The lyrical poems of award-winning author Nancy Willard celebrate the magic of life&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</B><BR /><BR />Nancy Willard, who was the first recipient of a Newbery Medal for a volume of poetry, displays her versatility in these companion collections.<BR /><BR />Divided into five sections,&#160;<I>Water Walker&#160;</I>blends the mundane with the mystical. From sleeping fish to Marco Polo to a tortoise who dispenses unique advice to a bride on her wedding day, these poems integrate fables, nursery rhymes, hymns, and songs.<BR /><BR />In&#160;<I>19 Masks for the Naked Poet</I>, the human soul reveals itself, as we remove the disguises that bind (and blind) us to everyday life. Fanciful images of nature&mdash;dozing bees, green lions&mdash;infuse this collection. Doors become mirrors and husbands float above their marital beds as Willard explores themes of family, love, spirituality, politics, and immortality. Her &ldquo;poet&rdquo; experiences everything from the sacred to the profane, from photographing his heart to meeting God in creations that are enchanting and surreal. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;<BR /><BR />This ebook includes illustrations by Regina Shekerjian.</DIV>
