Description
A gorgeous book of poems about all things slow, from slow creatures and slow thoughts to slow processes and slow afternoons in the sun. This is the perfect book to give as a gift to a friend who’s stressed or to sink into if you’re feeling that life is going by too fast. Every poem takes a good, long look at its slow subject matter, whether contemplating the saucer-eyed slow loris or considering all the steps in cleaning a teapot.
Here’s what editor Emma Wright said: “I decided to make this book because I often feel like time is whizzing by, and I wanted a reason to celebrate taking things slower. It was certainly a relaxing experience putting it together, and I’m especially pleased with the slow-having-a-picnic fantasy image I drew for the cover – what could be more soothing than that?”
