Wonderful Poet with Incredible Depth

Irving Feldman is a great American poet who writes for people who love poetry, for people who are serious about wanting to experience something refreshing, well crafted and emotionally engaging. His work is deep, full of meaning and celebrates life and humanity. Unlike some poets who choose to write in a way that is simplistic and cloying, Feldman never dumbs down his language. Like Shakespeare, more and more is revealed the deeper you immerse yourself in his work. The poems in this book run the emotional gamut from humorous and playful to downright gloomy. He is a keen observer of all that "is" in our world, and is one of those great finds that everyone who loves poetry should know.
