poems. too small to read.

"Poets often explore the mind/body connection through the medium of words-how love, parenthood, and simple acts such as folding paper airplanes become the lens through which we determine the value-the size-of human existence. Poems too small to read? I think not! Award-winning poet Jeremy Downes's infinitely large volume of obser-vations, cries from the heart, and wordplay gives us space to savor-from the tiniest moment to the most expansive consideration-what it is that poetry gives us."

- Jeanie Thompson, author of The Seasons Bear Us
