Teasing The Soul

About the Book

On "My West Virginia" - "What a wondrous anthem this is! I don't think I've ever heard you champion your home so fully and lyrically. I've heard you describe much of its landscape beautifully before this - but this is another order of praise. It's just wonderful, Bill. Be sure to make it the centerpiece of your next collection. (It comes close to the sort of complete rapture I bring to what I can express about my own beloved New York." Thanks!" - Guy Kettelhack

About the Author

For thirty years I've written poems responding to what life presents to me, whatever it is that catches my imagination and entices me to write. These poems continue in that tradition. They mostly respond to the region in which I live, the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia and the places I frequent. My wife and I, our two dogs and now five cats live on ridge, enjoying the quiet of our lives.
