Following the slough cycle and the gradual metamorphosis of the land itself, Nickel animates both nature and the children who love to revel in its altered terrains. Nickel's experimental verses are perfectly complemented by Kathy Thiessen's black-and-white etchings, making this ideal for any young Canadian--Prairie-dweller, would-be poet, or otherwise. |
