An Old Shell: Poems of the Galápagos

54 pp. | Farrar | October, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-374-35649-1 $$15.00
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Tom Pohrt. Inspired by a visit to the Galápagos Islands, the author penned thirty-four poems paying tribute to its flora and fauna. The poems are full of keen observations, rich images, and an underlying environmentalist concern for habitat preservation. Undistinguished black-and-white drawings illustrate the slim volume, which contains a map and an author's note.
