Hidden City: Poems of Urban Wildlife
Sarah Grace Tuttle
A collection of short poems notices the wildlife and plant life that persist in city spaces. Its subjects include ants fighting on a sidewalk, a community garden growing in a vacant lot, birds and sunflowers, as well as raccoons and mice. Nature appears in parks, yards, pavement cracks, rooftops, beneath stairs, and tree branches, among buildings, traffic, and people. Bright digital illustrations accompany the poems, and end matter offers facts about the wildlife they mention. Together, the poems explore how living things adapt to urban environments.
