Magpie: Poems of Love and Change - Paperback

by Denny Goetz (Author)

Denny Goetz's poetry is a portrait of a man seeking answers in the face of failure, loss and mortality. While intimate and personal in detail, it is also universal in addressing the vagaries of life, love and death. He writes of the pain and heartbreak of love lost, as well as of the consolation and joy of love found. He celebrates the delights life offers us, despite the inevitability of change and an end to all things. Moving and splendidly accessible, it is poetry you may find yourself returning to again and again.

Magpie is a generous gift. At too early an age, Denny Goetz experienced life's perils, personal and historic. This shaped neither a man of pessimism nor gloom, but one of decency and kindness; and though none of us is protected from sadness and illness, Denny's poems offer-up a bounty of courage, affection and tenderness. Take time with this collection, and just maybe, we all can learn to share his love. - Richard D.
