Customer Reviews

Wonderful Introduction to Poetry

I disagreed with the editorial reviews about this book. My children enjoyed both the beautiful photographs, as well as the poetry. It was a wonderful introduction to many well known writers, and is another keepsake book by Thomas Locker.

A Joy To Read

"Home" by Thomas Locker was a real joy to read. The way he blends the painting and the poem together is beautiful. I especially enjoyed the second poem and the picture with it. I could almost feel as if I were walking below the mountains. I would recommend this as a wonderful book.
