The heart is captured in a sunset or a leaf or a buzzing fly, and like those sensory observations, its beat is fleeting and precious. In Jim Weber's book, The Second Arc - Poems from Summer to Winter, Weber captures moments and evokes their private and shared meanings in free verse. A sequel to his first book, Solstice to Solstice - A Memoir in Verse, Jim paints a sometimes dark, sometimes ecstatic world with the same vivid palette.
A successful Nashville songwriter, professional youth worker, and co-founder of Touchstone Youth Resource Services, Jim Weber offers a second book of poetry that, as one reader described, reads "like he has read your diary." According to Jim, "Poetry is the mind’s portraits, described." And in The Second Arc Jim’s brilliant colors and shapes become visible, thoroughly real to the reader.
