There was once a little brown bat who couldn't sleep days-he kept waking up and looking at the world. Before long he began to see things differently from the other bats, who from dawn to sunset never opened their eyes.

By Randall Jarrell. he Bat-Poet is a haunting little story, a parable of charming instruction -- and of instructive charm. It is truly about a bat and at the same time truly about a poet.

The poetry is not brought in by the back door in a mood of earnest pedagogy.
