first: Selected poems from life and observation. - Paperback

by King Hill (Author)

Many of us go through life focused on survival. Just getting through the day and what life throws at us. Few of us have the time to experience life, enjoy life or, more importantly, reflect upon and challenge our own ways of looking at life.

Following a series of personal losses, King Hill set out, admittedly, to use poetry as a form of "personal therapy," but quickly re-directed his energy to move forward, to live life, to get to know people more deeply, and to help others do the same.

In this book, FIRST, Hill organizes his work in five chapters: Love, Encourage, Empathize, Question and Smile and offers the poems in each chapter as a spark for anyone looking to laugh, love or re-set their personal perspective - or just as a complement to a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
