Peggy's poetry

This is a wonderful book of poetry. I enjoyed it very much. Well worth the reading and the pictures are lovely. I though the artist needs more orginal names for his art works Birch 1, Birch 2 etc. The cover is especially beautiful. My favorites were Kus-sun-ar, Once you named it, and Early Fall. Oh and Young Boy Dancing at Playa Los Muertos you can just see the boy dance.
