From Kirkus Reviews Fourteen wellcomposed color photos explore the interplay of light and dark in intriguingly varied settingsthe cool blue of the ocean at twilight or the fiery glow of sunrise; a campfire glow or a stream's midday shimmer; a funhouse mirror or a cascade of shining coins from a toll machine, silhouettedby some alchemyagainst black. Livingston explores the visual images in poems that might be termed verbal paintings, each beginning with the word Light'' and composed of four brief verses: Light finds/a place to rest/on peeling windowsills,/lazes//among/branches of a/towering tree caught in/white sky,'' begins Abandoned House,'' which faces a curious composition resulting from a window that reflects trees and sky except where panes are missing. An interesting and artful book that might inspire other verbal/visual pairings. (Nonfiction. 6+) Copyright 1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. Product Description A collection of photographs accompanied by verse explores the world of light, bringing fourteen rare moments to life. From School Library Journal Grade 49 This celebration of the world of light and shadow captures their many moods equally well in two very different media. The 14 poems are printed on the lefthand pages, opposite the fullcolor photographs they both describe and enhance. Each one begins with the word light'' followed by a simple verbLight jumps . . . ,'' Light is . . . ,'' Light steps . . .'' All help to personify the arrangements that appear in the photographs. The pictures themselves convey many of the images in the text, from the energy of sunshine on water, to the coolness of afternoon shadows, or the joy of fractured light in a funhouse mirror. Those readers who have appreciated Livingston's work with Leonard Everett Fisher in Space Songs (Holiday, 1988) and several other titles will enjoy this new and different collaboration as well. When used with James Cross Giblin's Let There Be Light (Crowell, 1988), a history of windows, and Hilda Simon's Sight and Seeing: A World of Light and Color (Philomel, 1983), this collection could provide a powerful centerpiece for a science unit.
