Can you lasso the wind? Can you whip it a-gale? Can you make oceans bend To cradle each lost whale?

Lasso the Wind is the first collection of children's poetry by renowned poet and playwright George Elliott Clarke.

By turns absurd, witty, playful, and profound, Clarke's poems speak to the vivid wonder, the bright joys, and the secret pains of growing up in this world.

With bold and contemporary illustrations by Susan Tooke, Lasso the Wind is a masterpiece.
Industry Reviews
"Clarke shares thoughts and feelings both lighthearted and deep in his first collection of children's poetry...Tooke has enhanced the whimsy and impact of the poems with bright and delightfully animated paintings...This eclectic mix might appeal to a range of readerships."--CM Magazine
"Clarke's rhythms swing and sway from scene to scene, evoking the exuberant imagination of the child...Tooke's brilliant illustrations bind together Clarke's verses, adding a sense of unity through colour and style. Her gorgeous images, which incorporate painting, photography, digital illustration, and collage, expand the imaginative vision of Clarke's words...Clarke's latest effort may be intended for children, but adult readers will find much to delight in as well."--Quill & Quire
