5.0

I needed this book so much right now. It came along at just the moment when my soul could only be reached through poetry -- and Voila! -- another ten poems volume dropped into my lap. I don't know how I missed it since I am such a huge fan of this series, and of Roger Housden. I obviously needed this book during the awful Trump years, but didn't know to look for it. Now, after the death of a dear, dear man, I needed it more. I'm crying right now for the sweet scent that these poems have released into the room. I'm like Nazim thinking "carnations must be blooming nearby."

I know I will reread this volume often and will add it to my other books in the series which hold a special spot on my bookshelf.
