Reviews"Wendell Berry writes poetry as if it were as essential as bread....[He] doesn't coax poetry out of the ordinary — a long term marriage, a wild rose, trees — he shows us it's been there, in front of us, all along.... [Terrapin] is a lovely gentle primer for the Berry novice or any reader who relishes a handsome, decidedly old fashioned book."— Leo Weekly, "Wendell Berry writes poetry as if it were as essential as bread....[He] doesn't coax poetry out of the ordinary -- a long term marriage, a wild rose, trees -- he shows us it's been there, in front of us, all along....

SynopsisTom Pohrt spent years gathering those poems of Wendell Berry's he imagined children might read and appreciate, making sketches to accompany his selection. Over the past several years a dialogue has evolved in which the poet has come to advise the illustrator on the natural history of the animals and plants seen so intimately in the poems. Then came, Tom Pohrt spent years gathering poems by Wendell Berry that he thought children might read and appreciate, making sketches to accompany his selection. Terrapin is the result, a volume of twenty-one poems with dozens of sketches, drawings, and watercolors. In full color, we have not only a volume of staggering beauty but a consummate example of the collaborative effort that is fine bookmaking; the perfect gift for children, grandchildren, or anyone who remains a lover of the book as physical object.
