picture books and poetry readings

[zirconium]

In the most recent batch of picture books from the library, the one I like best is Hena Khan's Night of the Moon: A Muslim Holiday Story (Chronicle, 2008), beautifully iluustrated by Julie Paschkis with lots of blue, green, and gold. I especially like how Yasmeen's Eid present at the end ties in with the overall storyline of her gazing at the moon.

In other goings-on:

fourteen takes on Hopkins's "The Windhover", including mine

a reading of Traci Brimhall's The Labyrinth

a reading of Uma Gowrishankar's At the Moment of Death: Bardo 1
