The River

Nik Pollard. Roaring Brook Press, $15.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-7613-1778-4

Readers can swim from The Tide to a narrower channel in The River, also by Nik Pollard. The alliterative text-""Water laps with soft slop-slaps""-is typeset to complement the pleasingly flat, retro graphic art as the river winds its way from a mountaintop to the sea. .
