GREAT BIRD OF LOVE

 
       "The Great Bird of Love brims with a life so intense that it
        must be told quietly. The pages are quirky, full of surprise, variety,
        humor, and the sustaining reliable voice of a worthy guide to experience.
        These poems come from perception informed by sympathy, and the language
        is alive with verbal adventure."
