Where
the Sidewalk Ends
30th
Anniversary Edition
By Shel Silverstein
“Hug
o’ War.” It floods email inboxes on a daily basis –
forwarded by everyone to their friends and loved ones because it
says so much about the world – from a child’s perspective
as well as a political activist’s. Shel Silverstein was a
man of wit and imagination and in honor of his wonderful, innovative
writing style, Harper Collins has released a 30th anniversary edition
of his book of poems titled Where the Sidewalk Ends –
the book, as it happens, where the poem “Hug o’ War”
is from.
The
best part about the book, though, is that there are twelve new poems
that have never been printed, giving those of us who thrive on Silverstein’s
wit and humor something to feed our overactive, but very thirsty,
imaginations. The poems give us even more of the intelligent nonsense
that made Shel Silverstein famous. I highly recommend this book
for any fan of poetry and especially to anyone who loves how, even
as an adult, there are just some things that really do grow better
with age – one of those things, for me, is the poetry and
prose of Shel Silverstein.
