Each Moment All: Poems - Tapa blanda

Larry Smith writes of life's constant and precious things—sunrises, birds, gardens, breakfasts, dogs, front porches, and back yards. Teachers and poets. Parents and children. Those things that do not go away. Here is the conscious realization of all of them together as one in a personal matrix as simple and pure as the music of the moon.—mark s. kuhar, author of mercury in retrograde
