Poetry Friday is hosted today by A Year Of Reading.
For Poetry Friday -- "Keepers: treasure-hunt poems" written by
John Frank with photographs by Ken
Robbins.
Empty
a child's pockets and what will you find? Treasures!
Frank
celebrates the mystery and wonder of found objects in this collection of
poems. From beaches to woodland paths,
flea markets to grandma's attic come a variety of treasures from natural or
man-made sources. Simple the verses
clearly convey a sense of the object and give readers a moment to consider its
worth. An object's value is seen as less
about monetary worth and more about the beauty, sentiment, or attached memories
which is a sensibility that his readers will share.
Robbins'
photography is a beautiful expression of the verses while adding a rich layer of
elegance to these simple treasures.
