Lovely poem. Will look for this book so I can bask in the gorgeous illustrations.

The words in the poem are so image-evoking. I'd love to see the illustrations.

I'll loan you the book if you'd like.

I'm quite fond of the book Langston's Train Ride, which is a picture book about where he was in his life and how he came to write that poem. It's a beautiful book too.
