Synopsis

Kevin's poems turn ordinary events into compelling tales. The conventional becomes captivating; the pedestrian becomes provocative. Full of fact and feeling, and, often, a clever twist, his words leave you thoughtful or smiling, but always well-fed.

-Jayne Jaudon Ferrer, Editor, YourDailyPoem.com

Kevin's poetry delivers meaningful concepts with a gentle touch. His perceptive, often ironic, view of himself and the human condition leaves the reader with a warm awareness of our connectedness. This is why "Kevin's Much-loved Poems," his featured series in US Represented, continues to perform so well with our appreciative audience.

-Eric Stephenson, Editor, USRepresented.com

Kevin Arnold's wisdom, sincerity, and truth shine through in these poems. His love of life and of language mingle like bare legs. You read bareback and are edified by their power and clarity: a life distilled.
