La Loca is at a high pitch in these confessional and ecstatic outbursts made famous by her performances on tour from New York to Australia. She was one of four American writers chosen to represent the United States at the 1988 Winter Olympics Arts Festival in Calgary, Canada. La Loca grew up in impoverished Chicano districts of Los Angeles and now lives in Hollywood, California. "To watch this kinetic portrait of sass and blood and fire and gentle weeping is to wonder if an eggshell shaved translucent could be more fragile then her soul." Itabari Njeri, Los Angeles Times "What this dynamite young woman does is use her keen intelligence, lacerating wit and bold sincerity to transform the ugly, the mundane, the painful into a poetry of substance and joy. Simply wonderful." Wanda Coleman

Stunning collage art full of rich color, glorious details, and a sense of wonder—reminiscent of the work of Ezra Jack Keats—illustrate this delightful story celebrating the poetry found in the world around us. What is poetry? Is it glistening morning dew? Spider thinks so. Is it crisp leaves crunching? That’s what Squirrel says. Could it be a cool pond, sun-warmed sand, or moonlight on the grass? Maybe poetry is all of these things, as it is something special for everyone—you just have to take the time to really look and listen. The magical thing is that poetry is in everyone, and Daniel is on his way to discovering a poem of his own after spending time with his animal friends. What is poetry? If you look and listen, it’s all around you!
