I'm a country person who lives in a beautiful village similar the one downstate where I was born. Life being what it is, I have had to deal with and live in cities. This collection of poems has a little of everything: the countryside, the village, and the city, particularly Buffalo, NY. Buffalo is in part urban, part pastoral, a place where one never forgets that nature invades everywhere, sometimes in glory, sometimes in turmoil. I love it in either case
