PEELING THE ONION is a smorgasbord that offers a selection from a table laden with a great variety of verse and a taste of many experiences. Some of the experiences will be familiar, some will be entirely new. Here is another of Ruth Gordon's anthologies in which she shows her respect for young people by selecting poems not originally written for them and poems from many different times and places. PEELING THE ONION is a celebration of the unexpected joys to be found in that most economical and precise of forms: poetry. 1993 Books for Youth Editors' Choices (BL) 1994 Books for the Teen Age (NY Public Library)
