Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-06 00:00:00 James Stevenson As Shannon says in his forward, the illustrations are "vibrant, fresh, immediate" but, to my taste, just a bit too much for early spring (they speak of July to me). But they are definitely appealing in their own way. The verses are, of course, lovely & sharp.
