description: The poems in this collection come from Nancy Willard's cardboard boxes--she's collected them to accompany her on her journey through life, and she hopes young people will take them along on their own adventures. Works by well-known poets--Elizabeth Bishop, e. e. cummings, Emily Dickinson, and Wallace Stevens--are gathered here, along with verse from lesser known writers from other countries and other times.All of the poems in Step Lightly share a common readability, and the spark of joy that caught a remarkable poet's eye.
