In the neighborhood each generation grapples with life. Children play with intensity. Mothers hold their children to their breasts. Life seeks the warmth of the sun, flourishing in seasonal change. People die. Neighborhood Songs offers visions of both simple pleasures and life altering events. Sweet and bittersweet, this collection of 40 poems transcends the tangible community and enters the neighborhood within the heart. The reader is beckoned to enter for the joy of it.
