Selections from Nancy Willard’s acclaimed volumes of poetry and
prose This diverse collection features some of Nancy Willard’s
most critically lauded poetry—including works from her Newbery
Medal–winning volume, A Visit to William Blake’s Inn—as
well as her short fiction and four unconventional essays on
writing. Hens, children, magic bottles, and the moon are just some
of the characters running through the luminous musings gathered
here. “How to Stuff a Pepper” becomes a heady discourse on the
thoughts and sleeping habits of peppers. “The Doctrine of the
Leather-Stocking Jesus” and “The Hucklebone of a Saint” are
tales about the power of superstition to shape our lives. Other
stories showcase favorite Willard themes about God, religion, and
the magic and mysticism in everyday life—and the ancestors,
guardians, saints, and spirits who, in Willard’s words, come back
“once in a while to keep an eye on us, the living.” A paean to
the power of storytelling, A Nancy Willard Reader is an
essential volume for poetry and fiction lovers.
