Dan Cullimore"A poet wants words," Dan Cullimore writes in the first poem of this collection... "to carry home...useful as nuts." A life-long resident of Central Missouri, Dan was a well-known advocate for neighbors and neighborhoods, for things that grow, for thngs that have been lovingly crafted, and for things that have stood the test of time. Less widely-known, except among a small circle of friends, is his skill as poet, shown here for the first time. Each poem is reflectively crafted from the materials at hand-clay, mud, rain, reflections, flowers, people. They carry his voice and his eye and ear for the unique, the long-lived, and the hand made.
