Description

Well known in the Baltimore/DC area, Hilton reviewed for the Baltimore Sun before his death in 2005. His accessible and moving final collection includes poems about each period of Hiltons life, but written during his last few years. Wise and elegiac, this collection will appeal to anyone who is facing the death or serious illness of a loved one and to anyone who simply enjoys the stories of a raucous, well-traveled man whose obvious love for life and for his family shines through each poem.
