Quiet as It’s Kept, Me Too, and Other Poetic Expressions of Life!

About the Book

In this collection of poems, words pivot, frolic, and tease evoke emotion, as notes played out on a keyboard. For example, in the poem “Me Too,” words transform into chords illustrating how love can bestow pleasure while, at the same time, impart pain.
