D. H. Lawrence's primeval humming-bird, surrounded by dinosaurs and volcanoes. Cowper's Snail with eye stalks as high as its rambling Victorian shell. Illustrator Joohee Yoon also selected the poems, and for once the choices are as surprising and sharp as the art. Yoon layered just pink, yellow and blue to create all the needed shades. Her deep, hilarious spreads emanate straight from a toddler's fervid brain.
Beastly Verse: an outstanding choice for National Poetry Month in April, and a keeper!
