Daybreak, Nightfall Two Poems

Day and night, life and death are often seen as opposites. But they can also be understood as a continuum, one containing the other. Both ideas are expressed in these evocative poems by Jorge Elias Lujan. "An Apple in the Apple Orchard" describes a young boy and girl in the early morning playing hide-and-seek among the trees. "Pale as a Bone" places the same children on a carousel ride where a "Lady-as-Pale-as-a-Bone" is trying to choose whom to take with her. Illustrator Manuel Monroy artfully portrays both stories in a magic garden.Lujan, Jorge Elias is the author of 'Daybreak, Nightfall Two Poems' with ISBN 9780888994868 and ISBN 0888994869.
