"Love and Life: Celebrated in Poems and Aphorisms" is the second collection of poems by D.J. Christophersen, son of Norwegian immigrants. His first entitled "Still Waters: Timeless Reflections for the Soul" focused on religious themes, especially transformation as in "A Worm and Her Majesty" and "Tadpole Yearnings." In "Love and Life" he writes for incurable romantics and animal lovers. If that describes you, this is your book.
