Harry Behn\n\nHRYSALIS  \n# Concerning\n\nChildren  \nand Poetry  \nand Poetry  \nHarry Behn  \nWith the clear-eyed vision of a poet,drawingon his own special memories and impressions,this distinguished writer for children exploresthe world of the imagination,especially inchildhood,and the various forces that affectthis world,developing it,changing it,enlarg-ing it.  \nMr.Behn's own boyhood was spent in Ari-zona.There he learned much from his friendsamong the neighboring Indians-keen obser-vation of natural signs;lasting responsivenessto all things living and growing on earth;andphilosophical reflection about the beginningsof things.These are attributes that childrenshare with primitive people,for in childhoodwhat is imagined and what is real have not yetbecome distinct,giving a wholeness of percep-tion often lost in the process of \"growing up.\"In his search for the sources from which poetryderives,Mr.Behn has recalled the myths,theheroes,and the images of literature.  \nHis prose is direct and simple,but rich withthe intensity of his feeling and experience;and to those who work with children andbooks,his accomplishment will be immedi-ately evident,for he has deepened our under-standing of what is best and lasting in poetryand has recaptured for adults the wonder andfreshness with which a child sees the world.  \nsees  \n## CHRYSALIS\n\nby the same
