Foreword

“Terry has a gift for wonder and gratitude. He reminds us that poetry is on the side of life. He lives in a physical and colloquial world with disarming simplicity. Instead of sentimentality, cliché, and pretension you will find creative imagination, incisive reflection, gentle humor. These are poems of wisdom, about a life lived in the body and in nature; about faith, hope, and love; about time, suffering, and death. . . . These poems constitute a spiritual journal. They are not abstractions. They are to be treated with tenderness.”
