Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A collection of previously unpublished poems and illustrations by Shel Silverstein is due out from HarperCollins Children's Books in fall 2011, announced Publishers Weekly on March 18. The collection, as yet untitled, will be the second posthumously released collection of work by Silverstein, who died in 1999.
According to the announcement, the new collection will have the same format as the late author's previous poetry collections, which include Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, and Falling Up, with between 120 and 130 poems. Senior executive editor Antonia Market, who edited the author's first posthumously published book, 2005's Runny Babbit, is currently working with Silverstein's family in selecting poetry and artwork for the new collection.
In addition to Runny Babbit, HarperCollins released 12 previously unpublished poems by Silverstein in a 2004 30th-anniversary edition of Where the Sidewalk Ends, as well as another 12 in A Light in the Attic Special Edition, released in fall 2009.
American author Shel Silverstein was a leading cartoonist for Playboy Magazine before Ursula Nordstrom, an editor for Harper & Row (now HarperCollins) discovered his work and encouraged him to begin writing for children. According to Publishers Weekly, his children's books have sold more than 25 million hardcover copies in the US alone and have been translated into more than 30 languages.
