Summary

Is this a poem about making a snow angel? Or is it about the mysterious way that a poem comes into being and takes on a life of its own? Maybe it's both. In this new collection, Ralph Fletcher takes us inside the creative process, showing us that poems can have layers of meaning and can be playful and powerful all at once.
