Julie sent me my very own copy of this beautiful book. She probably doesn't know it, but she mailed it on my birthday. So I will think of it as a birthday present via serendipity.
Thank you, my friend. I will treasure this poetry while remembering the kindness that brought it to my door. ...more

A perfect volume of poetry, read on a sleepless night. Review to follow.
Wonderful poems. Green has a quiet but strong and authentic voice. I was introduced to his work recently at a reading in Victoria. His poems are carefully crafted and reflect a wise perspective on life, death, and our brief individual contributions to this world.
A wonderful book. I've not been moved by a book of poetry this way in some time.

The first poet laureate of Washington State. His poems are beautiful, his love poems foremost among them.
Ah, the grace of Sam Green!
