From School Library Journal
Grade 4 Up Like a day-long, amiable conversation, these modern poems, collected from various sources, wander from topic to topic, each seeming to suggest the next with a shared idea, image, or word. Richard Snyder's ``O I have dined on this delicious day,/ on green-salad treetops wet with beaded/ water, tossed by the fork tines of the wind'' introduces the collection and provides a thematic guideline, as following poets discuss early morning and food, clouds and food, birds and food, and so on to night and sleep (Snyder: ``. . .the sun turned on its spit/ into grape-press night and I finished with/ a frosted melon-ball of yellow moon''). Language is clear and unforced throughout. Janeczko, compiler of Pocket Poems (Bradbury, 1985) once again blends his elements with the art of an accomplished chef. John Peters, New York Public Library
