  • BEFORE MY EYES
    RAYMOND H. HAAN
    One morning you discover with dismay that your personal topography has acquired wrinkles. Attempting to dismiss the shock, you turn to the news--only to learn that the senator of your trust is turned wormy. But then you happily recall that today is the day of all celestial days: the winter solstice. So, perhaps you go for a triumphant tramp through the snow. If it were summer, ...

  • WORD SONGS AND WHIMSIES
    RAYMOND H. HAAN
    Reading Word Songs and Whimsies is like taking a ride on a magical tandem bicycle: the author pedals and steers, and the reader travels behind, viewing the sights selected by the author. Your tour brings you to the violent ward of a mental hospital in the 1950s and (sixty years later) to a farmer with a rebellious billy goat. Along the way you examine flowers, clouds, and trees...

  • ALPHABETICAL FROLIC
    RAYMOND H. HAAN
    Here they come--our ancient, never-aging alphabetical friends. This little book of light verse and pleasing sketches endows each letter with personality, some charming and some a bit rascally, some odd and some pathetic. Most of the letters take humor seriously, and so, as the verse and art frolic about them, they maintain their expected dignity and grace. They will, however, a...

  • SINGING THE GAMUT
    RAYMOND H. HAAN
    From poignant to playful, this collection of poetry and verse sings through a solar year of thoughtfulness, whimsy, nostalgia, fun, and devotion. Nature is never far away on these pages, which begin and end with the joy and gloom of the winter solstice. Like life, this collection is unpredictable: sometimes waggish, sometimes tearful, sometimes metered and rhymed, sometimes in ...

  • RAMBLES THROUGH THE HEART AND OTHER REGIONS
    RAYMOND H. HAAN
    Hearts have no template: they vary as much as snowflakes. Like snowflakes, some hearts are cold, but others are warm as babies' hands. Some are gray with melancholy; some bright with good cheer. This collection contains poems that reflect moments of the heart's delight and struggle. Some of the poems are indirect, merely suggesting the presence of the heart. Some are happily fr...
