Review # 1 was written on 2018-11-12 00:00:00 Larry Negrones Look what I found in my little ol' library! Begins with an essay specifically for children, "Short Talk on Poetry." "Ken Nakazawa notes, 'The poems that are obvious are like the puzzles that are already solved. They deny us the joy of seeking and creating.' "Once a little girl showed to a friend a poem she had written. 'Why didn't you make it longer?' asked the friend. 'I could have,' she answered, 'but then it wouldn't have been a poem.' She meant she left something in the air for the reader of the poem to linger over." One of my favorite poems here is new to me, *Jazz Fantasia,* with the line "let your trombones ooze, and go husha-husha-hush with the slippery sand-paper." 4.5 stars... I can't quite recommend it to everybody, but it is a terrific introduction to a terrific poet.
