Ana Galvañ’s contribution to Cory Godbey’s Terrible Yellow Eyes.
“Shadows” by Cory Godbey, from his terrific tribute site to Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are, entitled Terrible Yellow Eyes. In his introduction Godbey writes:

The last thing one discovers in composing a work is what to put first.
