So begins Timothy E.
Really, what more can we ask of poetry? -- Jane Greer , author of The World as We Know It Is Falling Away When Moses had escaped from slavery (Many years before he was called Abba) He settled on the best course for his life: To be a thief and lead a crew of thieves.
He brings gentle humor, wide curiosity, and an understanding of human nature to the task.
Bartel knows precisely how to use ageless poetic tools -- metrics, metaphor, allusion -- to elicit ageless responses from us: joy, grief, wonder.
