lyrical prose
— A young poet imagines her future home painted paradise blue, with wind chimes, forsythia, and wandering aromas creating an oasis among city streets.
— A canoe journey down a river becomes a catalog of sensory impressions — from burbling water to wild mint to watchful eagles — preserved as memory.
— A 3-year-old's transcribed vision of becoming the sun, bringing light to darkness, making the world proud with stories that come from the sun itself.
