Last week at Kirkus<\/em>, I talked here<\/a><\/strong> to Emma D. Dryden<\/a><\/strong>, and I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> about Bob Raczka’s<\/a><\/strong> new poetry collection. In this follow-up post today, I have some images from Bob’s Wet Cement: A Mix of Concrete Poems<\/em> (Roaring Brook, March 2016), and some of Ken Min’s<\/a><\/strong> illustrations from Rana DiOrio’s and Emma’s What Does It Mean to Be an Entrepreneur?<\/em> (Little Pickle Press, January 2016). <\/p>\n

Until Sunday … <\/p>\n

Please note that this appears horizontally in the book, as if icicles are hanging from the top of the page. But I re-oriented it for this post so that
it would be easier to read the words.<\/em>
