Peter Trower has a way with words that other poets envy. Despite years of logging and street-life, Peter Trower is a sensitive and skilled love-poet. The poems of this collection are poignant and personal, but never sentimental, telling the story of a life-long romance. In these poems Trower realizes the “soul’s completion,” finding at last a pervading sense of unity in love.
