I don't read much poetry even though I enjoy escaping with a book of poems from time to time. I won ALL THIS in a book giveaway and am pleased to say it's nicely put together. There are a variety of poems here, touching on many different subjects. The author has divided the book into several sections with related poetry beneath each section.

I was particularly fond of those poems that used vivid imagery to evoke mood. There are lovely visuals of wilderness life, coastal living and more sprinkled throughout. Some of my favorite entries are "Tomorrow is epiphany and I wait" "Seizing the Past" "Pursuing Ay" and The (Under) World. I also found "The New New North" interesting in the way it's presented.

Others are sure to find poems that resonate with them. Thank you to the author for providing the book in the giveaway. You'll find this collection a nice one to relax with and ponder over.
