Dear Friends,

I have gathered a selection of my poetry from the last twenty-five years into a book called THE SEASONS. (You can preview or order the book here.)

I am grateful to everyone who has read and responded to the poems over the years. I will continue posting my new work here and in twenty-five years (or less) I will have book number two ready for you.

Warmly,

Kevin











4:30 A.M. Daughter



O, to hear 
the soft sighs and chirps
of this tiny wild 
creature as she sleeps.
A miniature museum of sounds, 
an arpeggio of clicks and coos,
the notes of our receding lives,
flowing as her limp body
rises and falls
on the slow wave
of the aging giant's chest.

The gift economy . . .
from Wiki - In anthropology and the social sciences, a gift economy is a mode of exchange where valuable goods and services are regularly given without any explicit agreement for immediate or future rewards. Ideally, voluntary and recurring gift exchange circulates and redistributes wealth throughout a community, and serves to build societal ties and obligations.
