Poet Loiterer

by D.L. Lang

The title Poet Loiterer is a joke between my husband and I, that I am not anyone's Poet Laureate, but a poet who, as a result of health issues, spends most of her time loitering around town, home, synagogue, doctors' offices, and when I feel up to it, hiking, lots and lots of hiking! This book is a pastry, fluffy with a chocolate center. This entire book was written in 2015 in various locations around the Bay Area, which is a first, as my previous books had also contained many old poems that I'd written as a kid. This is all me at age 31/32 with poems created from April - November 2015. It starts out with "To Get Free" which won Best of Show at the Solano County Fair in 2015. It is a diverse 180 page volume with nature poems, protest poems, spiritual poems, and story poems.
