The Distance Between Two Hands: Poems by Greg Watson

There is a rich, generous spirit behind every one of the poems of Greg Watson's The Distance Between Two Hands. Grounded firmly in the physical world, these short, indelible lyrics--so compelling, so sharply etched in precise, evocative images--do what we ask of all good poetry. They make art of our common lives. The result is an engaging and thoroughly enjoyable volume, one that speaks with great clarity and a wisdom born out of everyday living. These are poems you will want to share, read aloud, and re-read. --Robert Hedin, author of The Old Liberators
