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











Spring Storm








Winds out of the north last night 
brought a forty degree drop.
This morning gray blankets the world.
The back yard is a Bruegel without peasants.
Wait, there’s the cardinal
darting through the dark green
trying to find his legs 
after the long wooden winter.

All these days of waiting.

The trees wave their black arms furiously
as the woodpecker tries to sew
the wet edges of time into their bodies.

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.
