A Sense of Wonder opens the door to the world of modern literature -- poetry, short stories, essays, and plays. From the comic metaphors of Pablo Neruda's "Ode to My Socks," to the touching monologue of Eric Bogosian's "Bottleman," this multicultural anthology engages students in a way that is personal, meaningful, and enjoyable.
