Each word is the inspiration for a pair of poems--one, lyrical free verse and the other, haiku. The paired poems reflect Tiana's lively spirit and urban outlook and are showcased in Javaka Steptoe's inventive collages, which include a wide range of materials, from faucet handles to pumpkin seeds to a hand-sculpted, gilded alphabet. A fusion of two remarkable creative talents, \u003cem\u003eA Pocketful of Poems \u003c\/em\u003eis an engaging portrait of a down-to-earth girl who has a way with words, as well as a tantalizing introduction to poetry.
