In a long time past before books were common, every day events and occurrences were past on from person to person in an oral fashion. Or it was like the Oriental way, when one "stuffed full
of tales," spread his carpet in the market place, and told his stories. All of this and more Mr. Howe accomplished in the form of his original poetry, spread out on a lush web pages rendered in
a compliant manner for each reader to savor and thoroughly enjoy.
Though not finished with his gift for "poetry telling" he explains some of the various poetic styles, coupled with excellent verse as an example. Each poem is meant to be read aloud to children and family too. So begin or continue a true family experience of reading aloud with Mr. Howe's poetry.
