A Word for All Seasons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780970373717)

This fifth anthology by Benicia poets, like previous volumes, represents a wide variety of skills, development, and perspective on the part of the participants. In addition, a number of out-of-town poets are also published here, illustrating the reach and influence of our vibrant poetry community. A Word For All Seasons was my attempt to encourage poets to express their world in whatever variety serves them, in all its complexities, diversities, challenges, and beauty. In the Biblical words from Ecclesiastes, "to everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose..." Poetry reaches into the corners of our conscious and unconscious mind, tickling something almost inexpressible, expanding our view of what is possible in a war worn, weary and often cynical world. Here's to poetry and to the poets represented in this volume May our world be better, in even a small way, because of it
