"Silver Linings" helps us to remember that while it is no doubt true for the majority that life is not a dream, every cloud does have a silver lining. The Italians say the same thing more explicitly?"Non tutti i mali vengono a nuocere," or "Not all evil is harmful." This collection of gentle, contemplative, happy, and profound poems, written from 1962 until the present year, will leave few who read it untouched. It refers to every aspect of life in an often humorous, joyful, reverent, and appreciative manner. Try reading some of the poems?you won't regret it!
