Accidental Joy--a streak of poetry

the long version

*Accidental Joy* is a sequence of one-page poems celebrating the impact of imagination in one life and on a generation. A single page is often followed by a second look, a new tone--the previous observation caught in a new light. A personal poem may be followed by a philosophical claim, social criticism followed by a humorous afterthought. The sequence ultimately celebrates the presence of imagination as essential to the human spirit..."whoever heard of a lovelorn polar bear/fashioning a taj mahal from arctic ice"
