No Hurry: Poems 2000-2012

By Michael Blumenthal

Book Overview

"The finest collection of poetry I've read in a very long time."
--Ron Hansen

From my birth mother
I took my melancholy disposition
and from my father
the ability to get through life
with a bullet in one arm.
--from "Genetics"

No Hurry is a book of poems for the aging in body but youthful in spirit, for those interested in continuing to ask most meaningful questions as they head "downhill" What does it mean to be alive? What shall we make of this journey from birth to death? How can we find meaning and joy amid our mortality and suffering?
