Out of the Earth

About the Book

“I re-read your poems with pleasure. You are a real poet. Most could have been written any time within the past 200 years, which means they are timeless, and also not in the up-to-date style - so that is their great strength” . . . E.D. Hirsch Author “The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy” The poetry contained in this anthology is the culmination of over 45 years of the author’s intimate interactions with the raw and refined elements of nature and a lay man’s passionate record of the natural, human and spiritual aspects of life. He masterfully uses vivid imagery and pleasing rhythms to transport the reader to places he won’t want to leave and won’t soon forget. This is a brilliantly insightful, awe-inspiring and at times provocative book with the power to make you laugh and cry or possibly change how you look at the world we live in, your place within it and the spirit that binds it all together.
