Description

Elegy On Toy PianoIn Elegy on Toy Piano, Dean Young's sixth book of poems, elegiac necessity finds itself next to goofy celebration. Daffy Duck enters the Valley of the Eternals. Faulkner and bell bottoms cling to beauty's evanescence. Even in single poems, Young's tone and style vary. No one feeling or idea takes precedence over another, and their simultaneity is frequently revealed; sadness may throw a squirrelly shadow, joy can find itself dressed in mourning black.

In Elegy on Toy Piano, Dean Young's sixth book of poems, elegiac necessity finds itself next to goofy celebration. Daffy Duck enters the Valley of the Eternals. Faulkner and bell-bottoms cling to beauty's evanescence.

Even in single poems, Young's tone and style vary. No one feeling or idea takes precedence over another, and their simultaneity is frequently revealed; sadness may throw a squirrelly shadow, joy can find itself dressed in mourning black. As in the agitated "Whirlpool Suite" "Pain / and pleasure are two signals carried / over one phoneline."

In taking up subjects as slight as the examination of a signature or a true/false test, and as pressing as the death of friends, Young's poems embrace the duplicity of feeling, the malleability of perception, and the truth telling of wordplay.

What our kids need to hear
Format: Hardcover
This book says exactly what our kids need to hear in these confusing times. There are so many things that our children hear and see these days that it can be overwhelming and confusing. This book and the sweet illustrations make teaching our kids how lucky we are to live in the US so very easy and important. This is something we need to make sure our children appreciate and they will grow up proud to protect our freedoms afforded to us by so many. Love this book!

Simply Wonderful
Format: Hardcover
I Love America is a wonderful book to help children (along with the rest of us!) recognize and appreciate the blessings bestowed upon us by God, including our freedoms in all their forms, our remarkable veterans, and those that work so hard to make our nation what it is. The fun rhyming and adorable illustrations kept our boys glued to it the whole time. Highly, highly recommended.
