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











The Garden





The hills breathe deep
moist and seed heavy.
The prairie thick 
is wet and ready.

We wander the days
awash with summer 
while cloud women climb
with fire and thunder.

The river prays
with back bent low.
Cities flash
and slowly grow.

Deep within this giant bloom
people move with love or fear
then die into another garden
taking what they planted here.

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.
