| Publisher Description: Touching poems about life in a trans-millennial family growing up in Los Angeles in the last decade of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st. Here are captured events in what is becoming a rare commodity, the traditional nuclear family. There is a range of events and experiences which are common to nearly all families. Couples meet, they decide to get married, babies are born and grow up so fast, and are off to college in the blink of an eye. In addition parents may pass away too soon. Through all of it we share emotions and memories which if captured in verse may ring just as true for the reader as they were for the author. We try to be good lovers and express our love in novel ways. We are amazed when we see a new born's tiny hands, and ponder how our children will grow up. We have pets, and we may even build a tree house. |
