Publisher's Synopsis
Mantras to applesauce. Self-defenestrationists. A funeral's climax as a balloon buoyed body sails among indifferent clouds. A broken man conjuring snow angel companionship. Paint swatches inspired by cannibalism. Sometimes our booted feet navigate a hard trail to some distant southern star. Sometimes bare, they knead barefoot the soft carpet of home. Often, they walk in time to the heart, beating poems into the earth to be read again in another generation. Day by day, Simple Little Things is a poetic journey of self-exploration, the omnibus of Sinclair's '365' series. It mixes myriad forms, Free Verse, Cinquain, Haiku, Rondeau, Tanka, Found Poems, Chance Operations, The Bop, and more, to reveal a poet at once comfortable and terrified with himself. Second Edition.
