The poems in this compilation have moved me in different ways. Sometimes it is just a line, sometimes a flash of humor and others where the whole poem affects me deeply. Such a poem is written by Kenneth Maswabi, dealing with the terror inflicted upon the homeless during the Winter months. Another poem, \"Mount Fuji,\" by its precision conjures up a Japanese landscape and ends with it is an image full of charm: \"At the shrine, white papers flutter \/ In the wistful winter wind.\" In other poems humorous and fun aspects of Winter are covered in lines such as: \"Winter is the season of the year that you sneeze and freeze\" or \"warm snowballs make friendly darts.\" Sometimes a poet poses an intelligent question (is winter) \"a beginning or an end.. \" -and, in my view, the beauty of Winter is in both. Winter can also be viewed as a waiting time and Glen Kappy captures this feeling succinctly in one of a series of short poems: \"In the park, \/ Few people, dry grass. \/ Bare trees. All waits.\" There are many lines and images I like: \"Families round the fireplace \/ cheer and huddle.\" for instance. And there is a particularly fine poem about Athens in the snow. But, you know, dear reader, the best thing you can do is explore for yourself. Your taste is different and I can assure you: you will find many gems to your liking.
