Between Heather and Grass by Xenia Tran is a poetry book focused on Asian styles. It is accompanied by photographs of whippets in natural settings. The combination of beautifully entwining words, charming animals, and alluring countrysides make this poetry collection uniquely special. The author has supplied a bibliography for readers interested in learning more about poetry. She has also included her own descriptions of the forms of poetry she chose for this book. I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages. One more note regarding this book: proceeds from the sales go to a worthy cause. (Jessica Lucci)
