The pawnbroker's daughter : a memoir von Maxine Kumin
Lovely writing about the poet's childhood, romance and long marriage to her great love, some of her poetry laurels like Bread Loaf and being Poet Laureate before there was one, teaching, farming, horses and feminism. A quick read.
Small, short book, charmingly illustrated by Arnold Lobel. Written in simple verse, this book tells about Anton Leeuwenhoek, who created his own version of the microscope and used it to see into the fascinating world of microscopic life.
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
Charming, colorful illustrations accompany mostly short poems by Kunin. Various rhyme schemes are represented. Good as a resource.
