Sea Grapes and Sea Oats - Paperback

by Jeffrey Jay Niehaus (Author)

These poems wander through life and memory. They explore art, music, and history, but in an atmosphere of subtropical wonder. Beauty and truth are close relations and the author explores both as memories of an earlier Florida compose a world of recall and invitation.
