The 52 poems in this outstanding new collection form a cycle that explores the grief and loneliness epitomized by "the widow" but shared by all.  As with all her work, the poems are written with a candor and honesty that is refreshingly wild, even a little mad.

Poetry

This anthology of audience participation stories is the next in a series of books that began with the publication of Joining In. Jennifer Justice, a marvelous storyteller, combines her keen editorial ability with her intimate story sense to bring us into the realm of ghostly humor and fright. The Ghost &amp; I features 16 tales by awardwinners Joe Bruchac, Rafe Martin, Heather Forest, Laura Simms, Jay O'Callahan, and more. The stories, geared for ages 5 - 14, vary from funny to frightening, and from simple to complex in plot and imagery. Some of the stories invite a great deal of physical participation, while others simply inspire active listening by repetition and anticipation.
