Lake Winds: Poems Larry Smith 1e uitgave

Poetry. "This is a gathering of autumn flowers, what has remained of the summer garden, the gathering before the scattering. Poems in the elder's voice, that ripened voice which grows only out of a considered life, from a man who has spent the currency of his seventy some years in deepening that life through the practice of poetry. LAKE WINDS brings us the poetry of appreciation and gratitude. No busy ego racket here. These poems come from a quieter level of mind that trusts that all of this is held within the secret direction/of everything. They acknowledge that truth, in Rumi's words, that 'Someone has filled the cup before us.' It is understood that we must prepare it for those who follow. Each of these poems is a filled cup awaiting a reader."?Maj Ragain
