First Stars - Paperback

by Jay Klokker (Author)

With intelligence, eloquence, and insight, Jay Klokker draws his readers into the heart of the natural world and the soul of the universe of human elationships. While we are looking elsewhere, the extraordinary happens in these poems-- whether the flight of a humpback whale in the air, or the sound of a bear breathing in a camper's face, the embrace of a homeless man, or the touch of lovers under the Milky Way's glittering sweep. First Stars is a remarkable book, one that teaches us to feel the winter inside us bubbling with laughter, and to "pay close attention to whatever the world has to show."
