A Day This Lit. This item is unavailable.A Day This Lit

Whether chronicling the Civil Rights movement in the South, the philosophical observations of a fly-fishing physician, or the extraordinary daily drama of fatherhood, the poet is always seeking the precise image with which to tell his story. The common note threading the poems is an unabashed humanity.
