“A lyric voice alive to the environment and as awake to the interior weathers,"
Sacramento Poet Laureate Emeritus Julia Connor,
Sacramento Poet Laureate Emeritus Julia Connor,
- "Both sweet and painful pulling the reader close with a clear lyrical voice.”
Sacramento Poet Laureate Emeritus Bob Stanley,- Blooming In Winter, is culmination of a life long dream. It is a collection of my lyrical poetry celebrating the sense of place: rural and urban and important passages: birth, love, loss, exploration, maturity, and death. My poetry is both accessible and thought provoking; often humorous, it reflects an interest in nature and the nature of human relationships. I have tried to honor beginnings in rural northern California writing of the loss of habitat,and farmland --and a longing for simpler living. I invite urbanites and country cousins to connect with these poems . The book includes 10 color plates of my visual art. It can be purchased on Amazon and Barnes and Noble and elsewhere. Click on the book to "look Inside." arrow at Amazon. The first chapter are poems about trees. Some of my favorite poems are:
"Sock Relations," "I Am the Creek," "First Harvest," and "Three Questions to a Daughter." You can read some below. I hope you find your favorites too.
