No Hurry

"The finest collection of poetry I've read in a very long time."

--Ron Hansen

From my birth mother

I took my melancholy disposition

and from my father

the ability to get through life

with a bullet in one arm.

--from "Genetics"

No Hurry is a book of poems for the aging in body but youthful in spirit, for those interested in continuing to ask most meaningful questions as they head "downhill" What does it mean to be alive? What shall we make of this journey from birth to death? How can we find meaning and joy amid our mortality and suffering?
