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











it is spring




full moon rising at dusk.

the old cardinal 
lands on a branch
with buds like tiny clocks
pushing everything forward.

a congregation of lightening 
is growing in the west.

today in the garden
my daughter held worms for the first time
like a giant 
fumbling with curiosity 
while wrestling with the instruction 
to be gentle.

the feeling 
of compassion.

it is spring.

rumble rumble.

my prairie chest
is storming across the roll
is rolling across the stumble
is roaring about the reeds
is snoring around humble
Rumble Rumble.

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.
