His thoughtful poems are a delight of observation and sensitivity, accessible to a wide audience. Pirrello travels with us through life pondering sunlight’s splendour, enjoying the bite of an apple and wondering why in all this beauty such things as old age and war occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach poem encompasses a wealth of ideas and can be re-read with pleasure to sift the colours, the careful choice of words, and the confrontation of ideas into a deeper understanding of the poet’s intention. His quiet enjoyment of Nature contrasts with poems about relationships, animals, pets, books, tea cups, his mother and even a lighthouse. This wonderful range of topics is endlessly interesting. Dedicated to Judith, the poems provide homage and are intended to amuse and delight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CMHA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038965154032,"sku":"9781773700793","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781773700793_p0.jpg?v=1763708758","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781773700793","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
