Publisher's Synopsis
This book of my poems is not intended to be read like a novel or even a biography. I think that it is best read in small slices, like eating an orange. Most of the poems are short and easy to read in one sitting. So, sit where you will when you read them; but remember that they are a collection of many different styles that I have tried over some sixty years of writing. Skip around until you find something that appeals to you; and I have some confidence that you will be able to find something in the eighty or so poems herein. If you fail to find one, just lie to me and say how great it all is anyway. But if you don't want to lie, tell me how you really think, and I won't even tell anyone what a clueless luddite you really are. Just leave it in that magazine rack in the bathroom for someone else who needs a good read to pass a few minutes. Thanks for reading poetry, Dan Carleton
