A book of poems by Eliot Hallowell published two years after he passed away. His work contains insights that are so universal, their messages apply to situations that are far outside what he experienced when he wrote them. The world continues to evolve and change, but certain truths about getting older, human relationships, and our attitudes toward our pasts and our futures remain the same as time marches on. Eliot's wit and insight allow him to distill lofty principles and ideas into pithy statements that rhyme and flow. His poetry makes the reader think, and it makes the reader smile, and we are all the luckier to have been graced with his work. Sit back and enjoy these unusual poems that are full of many pleasant surprises.
