"These are lucid gems from a new astonishing mind. Think of these poems as fruit from a newly discovered tree, light reflected from the future. Or better yet, don’t think at all and simply let their purity reside within." - Paul Hawken, Author

This amazing 64-page book of poetry about nature and of being was written by ten-year-old Tevon Dubois, son of Mark Dubois and Sharon Negri, both well-known conservationists. Tevon’s thoughtful eye and beautiful imagery will astound the most jaded reader. It is beautiful work and is especially remarkable as it came from so young an artist.

Excerpts from A Child On The Island ...

Dewdrop
Bending light
into a dazzling ray of rainbows
colorful as the northern lights-
viewing the first ray of shining
in the early morning.

Untitled
It slithers downstream smoothly,
gracefully as an otter,
then roars, exploding up,
tall as a tree.
At night it reflects the moonlight
walking upon its silky
lavender surface
and dancing upon its ripples.
