Book Description
Ordered according to moments in the life cycle - birth, juvenile behavior, courtship, mating, feeding and hunting, aging, and death - the poems depict mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, molluscs, crustaceans, insects, and arachnids. Each is accompanied by an illustration of the animal in the wild, and all recreate what is essentially fleeting: the complex beauty of one of nature's creations.
