Book of the Unbroken Days

Poetry. "Philip Terman is a poet of great compassion, one whose poems combine humor, tenderness, melancholy, passion and intelligence in a strong and lovely mix. His new book is full of the sense of what it means to be fully human and fully alive. Terman pays attention to things large and small, to family and memory, gardens and history, children and the elderly. The question he seems to be asking, in poem after poem, is, How can one best live this life? These are unabashed poems of love for a complicated universe"--Liz Rosenberg.
