Summary

"Where Sound Pools is full of songs for movement: for old boots, skis, ice roads, and a canoe. Giving voice to endless curiosity and the ways the human imagination reshapes the sensory world, Lynn Davies writes of children digging snow tunnels, of Giotto painting a fresco, of a parking lot attendant retelling the stories that she has heard. Beautifully blending strength with understatement, observation and fancy, passion and playfulness, she challenges her readers to move through the world with eyes and ears wide open."--BOOK JACKET.
