A full book of poems? I'm truly impressed. Me, I'm amateur and when the spirits move me. You probably would be unimpressed with my favorites: Coleridge, Rod McKuen, Robert Service, and some you've never heard of. My absolute favorite, Paul Croy, published a book many years ago that is my most prized possession. It's called "Old Blazes." Another favorite, the late Richard Hugo, Poet Laureate of Montana. He called himself a poet of place. He wrote a murder mystery called "Death and the Good Life," set in Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. Places I'd been. Not only could I visualize those places exactly as they were, but I could visualize the building and sometimes even the room where the action took place. I'd been there, and I knew he had been too. Here's a short verse. Let's see if you can identify the poet and the point: Logging Trucks Ranging up hungry at daybreak Plodding down glutted at night Gone now Like the Mastodons Outliving Their welcome But not Their memory
