The Bungalow of Colorful Aging (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639800643)

Bruce Niedt is a maestro of exquisite imagery and his poems are replete with visual scintillae - "Police strobe lights pierce the haze" - but the moments I love best feature the other senses. Taste: "my mouth is a car wreck of mint." Smell: "coffee fumes climb the stairs." Feel: "arpeggios resonate in your chest." Hearing: a "Coltrane sax solo growling in your ear buds" ... even the lack of sound is memorable: "a broken wind chime." The Bungalow of Colorful Aging is a delicious feast for our senses to savor.
-Vince Gotera, Former Editor, North American Review

Bruce Niedt's first collection The Bungalow of Colorful Aging is comprised of relatable, well-crafted poems that will speak to the reader. Niedt has a dry wit he turns as often on himself as on things he finds ridiculous or deplorable. These poems are honest and appealing as he contemplates his life and aging.
-Marge Piercy, author of On the Way Out, Turn Off the Light and 19 other collections of poetry

Bruce Niedt's The Bungalow of Colorful Aging fills me with hope and recognition. These poems are thoughtful, playful, but above all deeply human. They make for great reading in a challenging time.
- Robert Lee Brewer, Poetry Editor, Writers Digest
