Overview

""Where do I end and you begin? / Asked the cat of its tail, / Asked the shell of the snail."" From animals and plants to natural phenomena and sensory images, this rhythmic poem employs a thought-provoking refrain to introduce the concept of interconnectedness in life. By exploring the relationships the parts have to the whole, author Shulamith Oppenheim underscores that where things come together represent the strongest points of connection--and that the connections we make with one another bring everything full circle.
