Poems and quilts pay tribute to the unique creatures and landscape of the Everglades. The unusual waterways and exotic vegetation of the Florida Everglades create a home rich with sea creatures and wildlife, especially birds. Colorful and often majestic, these feathery residents evoke images that can tickle the imagination: the ballerina-like spoonbill; the biker-cool, wild-eyed cormorant; the snowy egret, elegantly dressed in white tails and black spats. Sue Van Wassenhove, who lived in Florida for many years, shares her passion for the Everglades in thoughtful poems and—in an unusual twist—with breathtaking quilts, creating a one-of-a-kind poetry book for readers to savor.
