Using creamy brushwork and subtly muted colors, Kiesler depicts each landscape, each night creature from Luna moths to a sleepless child and her cat, as well as the great moon sweeping across star-flecked skies, from varied but never vertiginous angles. Fletcher tracks that moon’s nocturnal path in language rich in metaphor: “With silent slippers / it climbs the night stairs,” “staining earth and sky with a ghostly glow,” lighting up a child’s bedroom, the wings of a small plane, moonflowers, and, ranging further afield, harbor waves and the shells of turtle hatchlings on a beach. This is a collection of new and wacky fables with. Every once in a while a book crosses our desks that makes us sit quietly delighted-except for a few squeaks of unmitigated joy-and.
So why dont we make a book of weird fables with strange morals and call is Squids Will Be SquidsAnd they did.
#Squids will be squids full#
As atmospheric as its companion, Twilight Comes Twice, this tone poem pairs poetically intense writing with luminescent oils featuring widely spaced houses, open lawns, and clumps of autumnal trees, all lit by a huge full moon. Squids Will be Squids: Fresh Morals, Beastly Fables (Paperback). Okay, said Eagle Scieszka and Lion Smith.
