LOCK HAVEN — The National Council of Teachers of English (NCET) has deemed “I’m Feeling Blue, Too!” one of 25 Notable Poetry Books for 2021. The children’s book, written by Lock Haven University English professor Marjorie Maddox and illustrated by LHU art professor emeritus Philip Huber, was published in August 2020 by Wipf and Stock.
According to the NCTE Excellence in Children’s Poetry Award Committee, “This series of untitled poems, all ruminations on the color blue, are completed by Huber’s detailed, multi-textured illustrations. Blueberries become ‘A/ miniature/ morsel of midnight/ that pops.’ In a lovely blend of alliteration, meter, and slant rhyme, a dragonfly proclaims, ‘My flutter flaps summer/ and hums to the blue firs/ and strums with cicadas/ and hovers by still lakes.’ Another poem ponders patience and precision, chronicling the process by which we ‘weigh/ and decide/ what to make/ from a block/ or a stone/ or a life.’ A lovely addition to a library.”
