The Bookworm Strikes Again we are not lost we know where we are but out itinerary is chance and weather we do not believe in destinations and we are in no hurry we have learned patience from statues in a thousand parks and joy from dogs without collars. -written by an anonymous homeless youth This poem starts off Learning Joy from Dogs without Collars, a memoir by Lauralee Summer about growing up homeless. She eloquently describes the gravity and instability of poverty. A precocious child, she was reading by age two, Shakespeare by 6. Her book a day habit and her later academic research on poverty at Harvard are reflected in the book, grounded in enough personal stories to make this a smart and engaging read. 3:50:12 PM comment []  |
