A treasure!

What a treasure! I attended one of Jim's readings recently and strongly encourage you to do so if you get the chance. Poetry is best read aloud, and rarely does anyone but the author do a poem justice. This collection of short poems, mostly 8 lines each, is lucid and lyrical, personal yet resonating with the transpersonal, that common ground of love, uncertainty, awe, and mystery. A worthy read to be revisited many times.
