October Leaf

A young poet offers 93 of his favorite works of poetry jotted at random moments during his teenage and early twenties years. The poems capture realtime snapshots like: sitting in a restaurant, on a windowsill, hitching across the USA in a driving rain, hiking in New England forests on an autumn day, or remembering time spent in a European village. He writes of love, loss, life, philosophy, a dying leaf whose perfume is like a woman's breath of life -- and many other kinetics of life in this strange beautiful universe.
