Reviews

"This book is a direct report from deep inside life. Joe Crowley takes us into his memory, his musing, and his travels--into the music of the mind. The mood runs from playful, bemused, and meditative, to elegiac, thankful, and affectionate; yet every mood knows the poet's deep joy in words and his love of the arts of language. The salt and savor of reality is in these poems, and they are a gift, a beauty, and a blessing." --Steven Nightingale
