The Ibbetson Street Press http://www.ibbetsonpress.com is a releasing a poetry book by Philip E. Burnham, Jr. "Housekeeping" It basically concerns his life after his wife dies, and how after a time his world opens up, and ordinary moments are transformed.
Douglas Worth, author of "Catch The Light," http://www.dworthworks.com says of this book " Philip Burnham has crafted a powerful sequence of poems that moves us from the deep ache of grieving over a beloved's death, through the tension between time's "recessional velocities" and love holding against "an undertow of loss."
Harris Gardner, author of "Lest They Become," and founder of "Tapestry of Voices, " http://www.tapestryofvoices.com writes: "Throughout these pages, Burnham tends his verses like a well-planted, well-organized garden with vivid living colors and scents."
We expect to release the book at the end of Aug 2005, along with a first book of poetry by Cambridge poet Ann Cahart.
