A truly Beautiful Book

This book was very touching. I loved the writing style and the beautiful poems of the Nursing home residents. It gave great and wonderful insite into their simple present lives and the wild and wonderful lives that they had, in the age, said goodbye to. On reading this book I was struck by Dr. Kenneth Koch's amazing and beautiful way of writing. After finishing the book I wrote the author and received a more that civil reply, I was very surpised and pleased. I would encourage anyone with a desire to learn about poetry and get an insite into people that make their lives in Nursing homes.
