Shel Silverstein is famous for his children’s poetry and illustrations.

In poem Lazy Jane the word "rain" hovers just above Jane’s open mouth, as the string of words above it seems to represent the trickle of water she longs for.

The English poet Roger McGough sends readers’ eyes travelling to and fro the way a tennis ball would across a net when they read 40-Love. Indeed, the poem itself – like the “middle aged couple” he writes about – is split by such a ‘net.’

«Игра Эндера» — блестящий фантастический роман о взаимоотношениях: между братьями и сёстрами, детьми и взрослыми, о групповой динамике… и о одиночестве.

Война, которая начинается из-за того, что они не могут просто поговорить друг с другом.

И любовь к врагу, без которой невозможна настоящая победа.

Ender’s Game is a brilliant #ScienceFiction about relationships - brothers and sisters, children and adults, group dynamics… and #loneliness

A war that begins because they cannot simply talk to each other.

And love for the enemy, without which true victory is impossible.

"f there's one thing Canada is good at, it's going to other countries and digging up all their wealth". Excellent read - long, but well worth the time and effort. Many thumbs up 😀
