sine qua non: haiku of Elliot Nicely
$20.00
“With a nod to T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets, Nicely considers nature, time, faith, death and love. As such, ‘darkness edges in’ and readers will feel the pain of heartbreak and loss. The poet reminds us that it’s connection that counts, and that if we take our chances, as he has done, then we will arrive at a rich and deeply resonant life.”

Description
“Nicely’s keen observations of the heart illuminate the absolute goodness of living deeply and richly into ‘the breadth of a prairie dawn’ and ‘the black between the stars.’ In the lyrical voice of a tender spirit amid the world’s unrelenting noise, these poems remind us that the quiet fire of a full life is a treasure beyond compare.”
