RIP, Maurice Sendak.
“Maurice Sendak, widely considered the most important children’s book artist of the 20th century, who wrenched the picture book out of the safe, sanitized world of the nursery and plunged it into the dark, terrifying and hauntingly beautiful recesses of the human psyche, died on Tuesday in Danbury, Conn. He was 83.”
…And he sailed off through night and day
and in and out of weeks
and almost over a year
to where the wild things are.
