Description
Poetry. "A WORD FOR IT, Warren Slesinger's heartfelt and evocative collection of lexical poems, combines a love of language, habit of close observation, trenchant wit, and mature wisdom. Looking outward at the things of this world, seeking to define their essence, he is led back to the inner realm, where the human impulse to know and love resides. These are delightful, original, moving, truthful poems." —Floyd Skloot
