Today’s Featured Book is the Poetry, Lifetimes & Life’s Lines by Kevin Heaton. Only $0.99!
“Lifetimes & Life’s Lines” is a delightfully wordy, profoundly bodacious YAWP about all things living. There’s much to embrace here about awesome, average people, places, and the great out-of-doors. At the same time, this work reminds us that there are many challenges to which we can agree to unite, then work together in a common bond towards changing, such as: mental and physical abuse, prejudice, conflict, and mental illness. So, let’s you and me turn that first page, together, and many thanks in advance for the privilege.
“Kevin Heaton writes with a passion found in youthful pursuits, but with the tenured voice of a well tempered poet. Each reading of his work reveals a richer reality within its pages.” -Poetry Quarterly Review
“Outstanding grass roots poetry! Heaton just may be the midwest’s answer to Robert Frost. He writes poems that you ease into, then find yourself stricken by remarkable flashes of wisdom that come from being in touch with your surroundings. I highly recommend his work.” -Carla Martin-Wood, Nine time Pushcart Prize nominee and author of Into the Windfall Light
