"Dark Emperor and Other Poems of the Night" by Joyce Sidman is a beautifully illustrated collection of poems that explores the wonders and mysteries of the night. Each poem gives voice to the creatures that emerge after sunset, from owls to fireflies, and captures the enchanting world they inhabit. Sidman skillfully weaves together nature's observations with vivid imagery and rhythmic language, inviting readers into the quiet magic of the nocturnal landscape. Accompanied by stunning illustrations, this book serves as both a celebration of the night and an engaging exploration of the interconnectedness of all living things.
