Description

FomNew York Times#1 bestselling author Richard Eyre comes a beautuful, heartfelt book of poetry and inspiration. Richards first book was published more than forty-five years ago, and he has since published more than fifty titles. While writing prose has basically become his profession, writing poetry has always been his love.

Here, for the first time in published form, he shares some of his poetic efforts about the people and things we love with those who have enjoyed his prose (and those who havent).

In his own words:

You dont write poems,

You capture them.

You dont create them; you cant even look for them.

They come to you.

Its not left brain work and plan.

Its right brain watch and pray.

As Pablo Neruda said:

And it was at that age . . . Poetry arrived

In search of me."
