Annotation
A compilation of poems by well known poets focusing on sadness, anger or fear with a theme of comfort seeking.
Personal Reaction
This is a sweet poetry book done in the memory of the New York September 11 tragedies. However, the comfort in the poems shows no actual connection to the 9/11 events, they just generally celebrate being sad, angry and dealing with that through basic comforts such as an embrace, or acceptance and love. The illustrations are a mixed back of artists giving a dramatically different feel on each page but still connecting with each poem.
