Review: This book is a collection of poems that all deal with the effects of winter. This book uses many different styles of writing to highlight certain aspects of each poem that are to be noted. Some of the poems are even laid out in different ways on the page to emphasize a feeling or image. These poems do a wonderful job of using very descriptive language so that the reader is able to “see” it in their minds. ( )
