This beautiful poetry collection introduces readers to the art of found poetry as the poet writes a 37-line poem, Nest, then finds 160 smaller poems within it. What can you find in a poem about a robin's nest? Irene Latham masterfully discovers nestlings or smaller poems about an astonishing variety of subjects--emotions, wild animals, natural landmarks on all seven continents, even planets and constellations. Each poem is a glorious spark of wonder that will prompt readers to look at the world afresh. The book includes an introduction detailing the principles of found poetry and blackout poetry, and a section of tips at the end. The joyous creativity in this volume is certain to inspire budding poets.
