Alfred Dorn's Claire and Christmas Village is a delightful story in evocative, well-crafted verse for both children and adults.   With noted illustrator Barbara Marsten's beautiful illustrations, Claire and Christmas Village is a fine addition to any library.  Alfred Dorn, whose celebrated collections From Cells to Mind Space and Voices from Rooms were published in 1996 by Somers Rocks Press, is a widely-published poet who has won more than 75 awards and has appeared in nearly 100 journals over the years. Formerly Vice President of the Poetry Society of America, Dorn is director of the World Order for Narrative and Formalist Poets, which has sponsored international competitions for more than twenty years. Said Anthony Hecht about Alfred Dorn: "The poems of Alfred Dorn seem to be vigorous, imaginative, and original, graced with elegant formalities when the occasion warrants, and free when the spirit moves."


Praise for Claire and Christmas Village:

This appealing verse-tale is just the sort of thing to share with a child.  The episodes of Claire and Christmas Vilage are full of fine sights and sounds -- bright pictures to imagine and clever rhymes to relish....
                -- Richard Wilbur, former Poet Laureate of the United States

In Claire and Christmas Village, Alfred Dorn, one of our abler masters of traditional poetry, spins an engaging story in meter and rhyme...It should appeal to young and old alike.
                -- X.J. Kennedy, author of  many prized collections  for both adults and for children

Claire and Christmas Village tells the story of an eight-year-old girl living in a correct but joyless home when a generous act opens a door into a dreamlike world...a tale of fancy, but one with a moral weight that readers young and old can respond to....
               -- Thomas Carper, author of two celebrated collections from Johns Hopkins Press
