A Living House (Poems for Baby Boomers, and their kids, #2) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A Living House is a contemporary collection of seventy four new and selected poems. 2011-2013. Final four selections comprise reflections of living in Hawaii twenty five years. Body of work touches on a connection of subjects from longing and loss, friendship, appreciation of beauty, the love of a child, and humorous observation of the human condition.

Knowingly or otherwise, it becomes aim of a poet to wrestle with history of family issues, contemporary life, finality of death, identity, and for many a quest to write about what poetry is, why it matters, and where every lover of verse seems to find themselves: galloping along in a growing and wondrous world of learned uncertainty.
