The poems and drawings in the book were selected by family members from his archives -- Silverstein died in 1999 -- and care has been taken to echo his best-known works. To read a review - http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jacketcopy/2011/03/shel-silversteins-september-book-revealed.html

Here is a sample -
A spider lives inside my headWho weaves a strange and wondrous web
Of silken threads and silver strings
To catch all sorts of flying things,
Like crumbs of thought and bits of smiles
And specks of dried-up tears,
And dust of dreams that catch and cling
For years and years and years . . .
