Black Stars in a White Night Sky - Rilegato

Black Stars in a White Night Sky, Lawson's second book of poetry for children, includes fractonyms, concretes, as well as short lyrics and poems that don't rhyme. Lawson stretches the boundaries of what is normally thought of as "children's poetry," but not at the expense of the book's entertainment value or clarity. The poems are written within hearing of both children and adults; philosophy and tomfoolery are equally at home in this exemplary new tome.
