Karla Kuskin (née Seidman) (July 17, 1932 – August 20, 2009) was a prolific author, poet, illustrator, and reviewer of children's literature. Kuskin was known for her poetic, alliterative style.
If there would be a recipe for a poem, these would be the ingredients: word sounds, rhythm, description, feeling, memory, rhyme, and imagination. They can be put together a thousand different ways, a thousand, thousand. . . more.
The hardest thing in the world is being a critic of your own work. For me time has always been the best critic. If I can put something away and then come back, it's like taking a painting you're working on, turning it upside down, squinting at it, or walking away to get a new view. Time helps you know whether it's worth saving or whether it should be dumped.
If you, Like me, Were made of fur, And sun warmed you, Like me, You'd purr.
