Not Aloud [Paperback]

Not Aloud presents some 30 plus years of Christopher J. Jarmicks marvelous poetry. Jarmicks thematic territory is expansive-- family, relationships, the art of writing, philosophy, his patented poem starters, and much, much more. His language is musical, approachable, and memorable. His refreshing turns of phrases stand clich?s on their heads: The clouds/are not metaphors at all./ They hide the sky,/they get fat,/sometimes they burst,/but not with tears,/Mr. Tambourine Man,/just with rain. Full of humor, acute observation, and deep emotion, Not Aloud is a collection youll want to return to again and again.
