IMPERFECT II poet Buffy Silverman says:
A blog for the book IMPERFECT II: a poetry anthology for middle schoolers about perspective
When we've lost sight of the big picture, how can we help ourselves put things back in perspective?
Poetry can lend a hand.

Buffy Silverman
Two things that help me regain perspective are my
soft-eared hound dog and being in nature.
The hound is always happy to see me, always eager for a scratch behind
the ears or a belly rub, always appreciative of attention. Observing
nature helps me see that there's more to life than our daily concerns,
that life is always changing, and that there's beauty to see when I open
my eyes.
Buffy Silverman is the author of over 90 nonfiction books for children,
featuring topics from Angel Sharks to Alligators, and Mars to Monster
Trucks. Her most recent book, On a Snow-Melting Day: Seeking Signs of Spring, received a star from Kirkus Reviews and was an NCTE 2021 Notable Poetry Book. A companion book, On a Gold-Blooming Day: Finding Fall Treasures will be published by Millbrook Press in Fall 2022.
