Denny's Arbor Vitae: Poetic Memoirs

A collection of poems about family inner perceptions relationships and friends. As the author says in the poem: ...Read books with words dark as rained-on grass tree trunks blacktop clothes sucking up to skin. Each word slides like mascara. The water on my cheek pressing down my hair hanging like spiders from my eyelashes - these are all part of the book the part that makes it worth reading. Let these be the last lines you write - not a suicide note but as final as one. Beware the greed good poetry breeds greed for more and more verse. Soon you wont get through the day without a shot.
