touch on the very essence of life Cheap Nike Shoes
Monday, September 19th, 2011Occasionally a book of poems comes along that is so totally refreshing that, when you arrive at its end, your first inclination is to simply start again at its beginning. Bill Griffin’s newest collection of poems, little mouse, is an invitation to, not only read, but to listen, very closely as the poet deftly applies gentle answers to questions of life. It is an unusual collection in that, although it comprises a sequence of poems, it is essentially one long poem—detailing the journey of life. It is also unusual in that it includes the voices and wisdom of everyone we know. These voices give us the immediacy of the long poem’s message. In a sense they are quite reminiscent of the power of Gibran’s The Prophet.the open stairway Canada Goose Chilliwack Parka

Among the many poets I’ve met, Bill Griffin stands out as one of the gutsiest and most creative writers I’ve known. His poems are bold and poignant and filled with memorable lines, keen observations, and acute wit. These precisely crafted poems touch on the very essence of life as well as spirituality. They Cheap Gucci Shoes, Cheap MBT Shoes, Cheap Nike Shoes celebrate beauty and peace, but mostly remind us of calm, as in: “If I could write my own story it would walk / the fine damp path along Roaring River / then cross your pasture, the deepworn tread, / observant beasts, enter the broken / gate of your back garden and out again”. The poems meander the fractured line between harshness and reality and then settle on the pages like one-chord songs in a singular glow of spiritual living.
