Looking Back a Moment: And Other Poems

LOOKING BACK A MOMENT...& OTHER POEMS, is an anthology of poems that relate to growing up as a boy on a wheat farm in Oregon, then to life & its crossroads, including the joys & mysteries of grandchildren. The 84-page volume is richly illustrated with original photographs (many full color) by the author. One poem asks, "Where have all the poets gone?" Another includes ghosts of the past, & looking forward to immortality through grandchildren. Many of the poems are laced with humor, such as THE TATTLETALE CROW & MIDNIGHT SNACK. Many touch emotions on losing pets & grandchildren. Another poem, THE FISHERMAN, explores the excitement & dangers of crossing the bar on a rough ocean. Judy Fleagel, managing editor of Oregon Coast Magazine reviews: "In order for me to enjoy a poem, I have to understand it & be able to relate to it. In this book, I couldn't find a poem I didn't enjoy. I look forward to his second book."
