When My Feet Quit Dancing
poetry on the personal side
by Duane Robert Pierson




“ I started this book by reading Warblers in the Bramble, a poem that fits my experience, as does so much in the book. A friend very much likes Today in the Wood and we talked about moments that fail to repeat themselves.The Loss is a marvelous commentary. I once had to experience escaping emptiness and this poem gives that occasion form.
As usual in Duane Robert Pierson's books, there are so many beautiful lines that I immediately relate to, lines like:'Memories flutter like autumn leaves through the portals of my mind'.”

- Robert Solotaire
