About the Book

Emery L. Campbell creates poetic magic in this charming children's story translated from the 19th century Latin-English poem, "Carmen Possum." Two boys and their hound dog go hunting through a snowy landscape to catch a possum prize-but they are not prepared for the trick played on them by this crafty little marsupial. "Playing Possum" is adorably illustrated with original artwork by Maureen "Moe" Paccione.
About the Author: Emery L. Campbell is an award-winning writer of poetry and short works of fiction and nonfiction. Multicultural Books, a Canadian press, published his book of selected poems and translations from French of poetry by classical French poets. This Gardener's Impossible Dream: A Not So Green Thumb (or Why I Took Up Poetry Instead) was nominated for the 2006 Georgia Author of the Year Award; a poem chosen from it received a nomination for a Pushcart prize. His second book, Selected Fables and Poems in Translation, published by Print1Direct of Marietta, Georgia, consists of both the original French texts plus his English translations of verse fables of Jean de La Fontaine and poems of Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud, and Paul Verlaine. His writings have appeared in numerous publications and on the Internet, winning awards from the National Federation of State Poetry Societies, the Georgia Writers Association, the Georgia Poetry Society, among other organizations. He is a past vice-president and long-time member of the GPS and also belongs to the Utah State Poetry Society, the Southeastern Writers Association, and the Georgia Writers Association where he contributed a regular column on grammar and usage to the GWA organizational newsletter for twelve years. He is a two-time recipient of the National Senior Poet Laureate Award. A native of Monroe, Wisconsin, Emery served as a naval aviator for five years in his youth. He is a graduate from the University of Wisconsin with a BA in French language and literature, and spent two years as a post-graduate student in France; he resided for many years in France, England, and Argentina, as well as in the United States, and traveled widely for business and pleasure. Emery and his wife Hettie, a native of the Netherlands, live in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Their adult son Lucas resides in suburban Atlanta. Illustrator Maureen "Moe" Paccione lives in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia; her home sits atop a mountain with exceptional and expansive views of the Shenandoah Valley and river below. Also sharing the home are Moe's husband Jeff, two dogs, a very elderly cat, and three parakeets. Her children are grown, healthy, and successful in their respective ventures. What more could a Momma ask for? She is kept young at heart by her Godson, Jackson, whom she happily spoils and then sends home to his fathers! Moe was named Senior Poet Laureate of West Virginia in 2010, 2012, and 2013.
