Kenneth Pobo has five books and twenty chapbooks published. His work has appeared in: Hawaii Review, Antigonish Review, Nimrod, Mudfish, Indiana Review, Weber: The Contemporary West, and elsewhere. He began writing poetry in 1970. He teaches creative writing and English at Widener University in Pennsylvania. ~~~~ Pobo's poems are a provocative and thoughtful distillation of the questions of survival-the survival not only of humans, but especially of animals, large and small, and of his beloved plants. His elegant, readable poetry is also ethical and ironic, playful and serious. He keeps his focus on the urgent pulse of what really matters. ~ -Nuala Archer, author of Inch Aeons and From A Mobile Home ~ Every culture has its seers and visionaries, its "sensitives" who see and hear more than the rest of us. In American poetry, one such writer is Kenneth Pobo, whose lyrics reveal the inner lives if fauna and flora, of suburban yards and city zoos. Who speaks for the Mirandy roses, for the asters, toad lilies and mums? Our poet Kenneth Pobo croons open those delicate doors. Who sings for scorpions and endangered worker bees, for threatened polar bears and harp seals? The man with the harp is our bard, Kenneth Pobo. His lines are knife-sharp, but they do no harm. On the contrary, these are healing songs in the tradition of tribal shamans and medicine men. They are love songs, clearly articulated in the American Idiom. They wake us, remind us to care for the spirits embodied within us and all around us, to live in earth's mystery without destroying it further. ~ -Marilyn Kallet, author of The Love That Moves Me and Packing Light: New And Selected Poems ~ Close observation imbues these striking poems that illuminate both the natural world and the perceiving eye. Concern for the environment: "The Earth gets terrible wounds/Our nightmare hands can strangle anything." Countered with the dream garden where there is "a hotel full of songbirds/singing all day, all night." Images that root deeply, truly and unforgettably. ~ -Joan Colby, author of Dead Horses and The Wingback Chai

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
