Title by Leo Cole Snider

  • We An American Bestiary

    by Leo Cole Snider

    • Released: March 2022
    • Genre: Poetry

    Narrative poems about love and loss, fathers
    and mothers, faith and doubt — and the
    animals with whom we share this journey.

    Our World
    This is a world where trees grow tall
    this is a world where men grow small.
    But chainsaws equalize their height
    their dignity, their ageless might:
    They are not voiceless after all:
    I hear moaning as they fall.
