Lions, cheetahs and polar bears are just some of the animals that prance, prowl and promenade through this elegant and exhilarating present day bestiary. How humans make sense of creation is dealt with wisely and warmly in verses and images that get to the descriptive and imaginative nub of abstract ideas like Happiness, Excitement and Success. Readers will indeed be happy and excited at the success of this magnificent anthology which concludes with truly touching (because touchingly true) paeans of praise to cousins, first loves, grans and others with whom these young writers and printmakers have relationships. There is nothing relative about their attainment.
