Skunk talk

Poetry. Without fanfare, in the subtlest way, the poems of Albert Garcia teach us the essentials of how to live richly with exactly what we have. By attending to ordinary life with extraordinary sensitivity, they tap the mystery that lies like an aquifer below the surface of things, quietly informing everything we do. We come away refreshed, feeling wiser and more compassionate, our senses sharpened. "Albert Garcia has a considerable gift for noticing and writing about what he calls "our days of ordinary wonders." His images are precise and beautiful. These poems are near to the heart of things--there is love, complexity, sadness and celebration. I am thankful for this bright and honest book"--Gary Short.
