A Psalm for the Wild-Built
Author: Becky Chambers
Publisher: Tordotcom
ISBN: 1250236223
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Winner of the Hugo Award! In A Psalm for the Wild-Built, bestselling Becky Chambers's delightful new Monk and Robot series, gives us hope for the future. It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how. They're going to need to ask it a lot. Becky Chambers's new series asks: in a world where people have what they want, does having more matter?

Excerpt from Wild Earth: A Book of Verse The Plougher Sunset and silence! A man: around him earth savage, earth broken; Beside him two horses - a plough! Earth savage, earth broken, the brutes, the dawn-man there in the sunset, And the Plough that is twin to the Sword, that is founder of cities! "Brute-tamer, plough-maker, earth-breaker! Can'st hear? There are ages between us. " Is it praying you are as you stand there alone in the sunset? " Surely our sky-born gods can be naught to you, earth child and earth master? "Surely your thoughts are of Pan, or of Wotan, or of Dana? "Yet, why give thought to the gods? Has Pan led your brutes where they stumble? "Has Dana numbed pain of the child-bed, or Wotan put hands to your plough? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Wild in the Streets
Author: Marilyn Singer
Publisher: words & pictures
ISBN: 0711241708
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 51
Book Description
This beautifully illustrated book pairs poetry with nonfiction, telling the fascinating stories of the animals who have found homes in our city landscapes across the world, from the pythons traveling Singapore's sewers to the monkeys living in India's temples. Humans may have built towns and cities, but we aren’t the only ones who live in them. Given the smallest chance—a park, a garden, a window box; a basement, a subway tunnel, a bridge—wildlife manages to survive in the city. Among colorful illustrated pages buzzing with city life and animal activity, you'll discover the host of wild animals who live among humans: butterflies, bats, spiders, honeybees, coyotes, and more. Each animal’s story is told through a short poem accompanied by an informational paragraph. Some poems are comical, some poignant, and all make the reader see the world in a different way. After a rousing exploration of animal life, find definitions of the various types of poetry forms used in the book: haiku, cinquain, sonnet, terza rima, villanelle, triolet, reverso, acrostic, and free verse. Look around—you may discover neighbors you didn't know you had!
