Holy Shit!!! | Poems and Stories by Earl LeClaire

BRUSSELS - June 1, 2018 - PRLog -- There are many ways to know a man. Here, Earl LeClaire makes himself known through his poems and stories inspired by what he has loved and endured in a lifetime. The title is a good one, because not only is he amazed at the ups and downs of his life, but so will be the reader. "Love," LeClaire writes, "without expectations, without exceptions, is the only resolve."

~Kizzy Bakalo, Traveler, Professor Emeritus of Gypsy campfires, seer of seers, dancer, singer, lover of poetry, and graceful soul.

The poems in Holy Shit!!! never fib, instead they sway with imagination.

when i was young
i could take a heart
and fold it in the crease of a smile.  (off the isle of shoals)

Their truth is sliced with a cherished Japanese Samurai sword from a life resonating, bursting with life. Earl LeClaire talks with flowers, loves his family and blesses us with his imagery and wisdom. Now, in his later years the boundaries of his life circle back to often focus on empirical wisdom:

For, in the end, it comes down to this:
The past and the future exist
Only in the joy of the present. (Shag-bark)

If Earl LeClaire poems are on the menu, I'm pulling my seat up to the table!!!
