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.\" \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bungalow of Colorful Aging\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e is a delicious feast for our senses to savor.\u003cbr\u003e-Vince Gotera, Former Editor, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eNorth American Review\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBruce Niedt's first collection \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bungalow of Colorful Aging\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e is comprised of relatable, well-crafted poems that will speak to the reader.
