More than any other poet I know, he freeze-frames the magic of his childhood and renders it eternal. Infused with music and alchemical word magic.

In this collection we travel through poems about childhood, Crayola 64, nature, the soul of snowflakes, friends, and lovers. You will also enjoy a delightful comedy section. Each piece holds a unique truth, and in these poems we find stories about old cars, travels to Brazil and Buenos Aires, and a return home to something as simple and as necessary as \"A Cricket in the House\". This admirable collection draws the reader into a place where the rest of the world disappears, examining the \"entropy of loose ends\". As you travel through the pages, you will find yourself immersed in \"the story within the story\" and will take each with you, in countless ways.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e--\u003cstrong\u003eConnie Post\u003c\/strong\u003e, Poet Laureate Emerita of Livermore, CA 2005 to 2009, Host of the Valona Deli Poetry Series, and Author of \u003cem\u003eFloodwater, \u003c\/em\u003ewinner of the Lyrebird Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 09, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42697911828576,"sku":"9781421837611","price":22.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/88abb7035eca9cf3487f73b4e0f94b5a.webp?v=1775832667","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/one-good-turn-poetry-by-kirston-koths-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
