No Hurry: Poems 2000-2012 Michael Blumenthal

“The finest collection of poetry I?ve read in a very long time.?
—Ron Hansen

From my birth mother
I took my melancholy disposition
and from my father
the ability to get through life
with a bullet in one arm.
—from "Genetics"

No Hurry is a book of poems for the aging in body but youthful in spirit, for those interested in continuing to ask most meaningful questions as they head “downhill?: What does it mean to be alive? What shall we make of this journey from birth to death? How can we find meaning and joy amid our mortality and suffering?
