About Lifetimes & Life’s Lines by Kevin Heaton
In the dance of words, a good poetry collection should invite us to age more graciously. Its yellowing pages & timeless verses should give rise to a celebration of life’s extreme pendulum swings. Each time we reread that work, we will find ourselves feeling more & more a part of it until, at some whimsical point, we will wish to never leave it:
“Pause. Enter the enchantment of woodland serenity. Witness a newborn fawn unwind the umbilical embrace, & take her stand. Accept that all you are, is not all there is.”
– from Be Still & Know
“This poem is about I love you, breathing on its own; beyond lust, beyond self. This poem is about: Sighing for your sorrow. A quickened pulse cheering on your victories. Washing your feet with my tears. Sipping daylight from your smile. Believing, without groping your wounds.”
– from This Poem is About

Outstanding grass roots poetry! Heaton just may be the midwest’s answer to Robert Frost. He writes poems that you ease into, then find yourself stricken by remarkable flashes of wisdom that come from being in touch with your surroundings. I highly recommend his work. -Carla Martin-Wood, Nine time Pushcart Prize nominee and author of “Into the Windfall Light.”
