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











Shining




The infant stares out the window
as her diaper is changed
              golden liquid 
              gently wiped 
              from her tiny butt
entranced by the Birch leaves
lost in the flicker and spin 
of greens and blues.
Quietly looking 
without the idea 
of leaves
or trees 
windows
sky 
light
mother 
dark
house
father
humans
dogs
time
fire
earth
stars.

Little daughter smiles 
every morning
as brightly as 
a miniature sun.
Her eyes 
are filled
with joy.

the poetry of Kevin Lawler

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.
