Product Overview

Untitled and unpunctuated, the seventy poems in this acclaimed collection seem to cascade from one page to another. Maurice Manning extolls the virtues of nature and its many gifts, and finds deep gratitude for the mysterious hand that created it all.

that bare branch that branch made black

by the rain the silver raindrop

hanging from the black branch

Boss I like that black branch

I like that shiny raindrop Boss

tell me if Im wrong but it makes

me think youre looking right

at me now isnt that a lark for me

to think you look that way

upside down like a tree frog

Boss Im not surprised at all

I wouldnt doubt it for

a minute youre always up

to something Ill say one thing

youre all right all right you are

even when youre hanging Boss
