Calendar

Start January with resolutions, end December with candy. Over fifty poems explore the rhythms of the year and of life in nature, the garden, and the family. "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven" said the writer of Ecclesiastes. Calendar contains poems about those times—the new life of spring, the peace of fall; the drudgery of housework, the release of vacation; memories of youth and reflections on aging. Styles include haiku, villanelle, pantoum, light and free verse.
