Description

When We Were Young is an exploratory book of poems on the human condition. Often combining focused observations on love, mortality and bare existence within the broader landscape of backpacking adventures, it seeks integration and lets us smile at the touching sadness of it all. The author also takes special interest in combing through rhythms of the past to apply some of the old traditions to contemporary free verse. Inspired as much by classical meter as the colloquialism of our day, When We Were Young looks to channel what it is that makes us human throughout history, thought and body.
