Pea Soup: New and Selected Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798327982710)

Pea Soup is an invitation to join the search for clarity, direction, beauty, and lasting value in the heavy fog conditions of human life. Through richly metaphorical, refreshingly readable poems, the poet uses small, inconsequential things to explore the depths of love and family, of grief and loss, of beauty and wonder, of childhood joy and trauma, and of growing old. Memories are more than snapshots as he remembers those he'll never see again. Universal truths are as close as a 50-year-old bicycle, a chipmunk nibbling on a peanut butter pretzel treat, a high school track meet, and a stink bug crawling across the desk. Having joined the search, readers realize the mistake they would make if they wait for the fog to lift to begin their own search.
