Richard Moyer's love of life and his love of the world is at the heart of this book: his acceptance of hard truths and his acceptance of the world's faults; his compassion for those of us who struggle, suffer and survive. Some them are hard to face These are poems of the realities of life and the world, of loss and of joy. Poems of truth and the lies we tell ourselves, the dreams we hide behind. Poems that need to be read. Eileen M. D'Angelo, Editor of Mad Poets Review
