Customer Reviews

finding a new voice in poetry

I recently stumbled on the poetry of Poet Lauriate, 2-time Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Wilbur, an amazingly versatile wordsmith who's also translated plays by Molière and Racine, as well as penning lyrics for Bernstein's Candide. And he's written books for children, 'Opposites' being a fine example. Perfect and complete pleasure for adults, now I really must round up some worthy and trusted minors to take it out for a spin.

Charming poetry

This excerpt of the poetry of Richard Wilbur was perfect as a gift for two young children. It was written for children, but adults will also find it amusing.
