With deep affection and a quirky imagination, Buff Whitman-Bradley witnesses and records ordinary moments of our daily lives in ways that invite us to view common, everyday occurrences and characters with fresh eyes and renewed appreciation. He worries about the world we all love as climate change threatens more and more natural systems. He celebrates the first flight of an osprey, the winter arrival of newts, the music of frogs, a ladybug in retirement, the “melodious silence of woods,” and the “wild beauty within.” Here is a book of small surprises, packed full of stars and owls, herons and urtles and mushrooms and bees, and even Anton Chekhov, presented with gentle humor and a quiet urgency about what lies ahead.
In the homestretch of his 8th decade, Buff Whitman-Bradley has been writing poetry for almost 60 years. His poems have been published in many journals and in three previous collections – b. eagle, poet; The Honey Philosophies; and At the Driveway Guitar Sale. He podcasts poems on aging, memory, and mortality at thirdactpoems.podbean.com. With his wife, Cynthia, he lives in a small town in northern California.
