When an event, scene, or emotion catches Steven Swank’s interest, it tunes his focus and attention. As he perceives the weight, texture, scent, and sound of it, he writes it down. Some poems spill out of the pen; others must be chipped free of clutter. Some poems happen; others are imagined, conjured, or found as stray parts and assembled. In this book you will find poems that entertain, trouble, delight, or amuse. In these pages you will find poems of nature, kindness, mistrust, angst, calm, and beauty; and poems wry with humor, emotion, and insight.
