Reading these moving poems is like walking on a dark street at night and suddenly spotting a glow in a lighted window. This exquisite collection is a welcoming sanctuary of engaging world news poems and intimate letters to a friend. John Freeman writes with such tender care, capturing our lives' ephemeral moments of love and goodbyes.- Aggie
