Praise for 16 WORDS: William Carlos Williams and "The Red Wheelbarrow"
"At once spare and lush: a gorgeous introduction to the power of poetry." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Williams’s koanlike poem closes the story, its marvel of compacted meanings crystallizing everything that has come before." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Great for reading aloud, this will also be a good choice for launching poetry units and inspiring neophyte poets." —Booklist A "fine introduction to a celebrated American poet." --The New York Times Book Review "A unique picture book that shows how poetry can capture a feeling or an image with a few well-chosen words." —School Library Journal "Debut author Rogers suggests that there is power in noticing, as Williams did-- finding the extraordinary in the ordinary." —The Horn Book Magazine A Junior Library Guild selection Published by Schwartz & Wade Books.
