In contemporary society, words are often used to impale rather than to inspire, to denigrate rather than to dignify, to put down rather than to lift up. Let this collection of insightful and thoughtful poems be a brief, beautiful respite, where language is elevated to a higher state. Let the magic and mystery of poetry in this volume start a fire in your imagination and transport you to unexpected places.
Poet, novelist, and travel writer William Graham holds a BA and MA in English and a MS in Communication from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. He lives in Stowe, Vermont.
This is nice little book of poetry. Mainly freeverse coupled with simple rhyming schemes. There a few that really spoke to me. Giving away Old Books was something I could relate to. The Last Letter I recognized from news story so it was interesting to see it recast into verse.
