If poetry has a soul, it might be metaphor, since metaphor transforms and enlivens even our most common objects and experiences. In this latest poetic excursion by Raymond Haan, you will find many common objects, among them garbage cans, a mole, a dune ride, Oliver the dog, a door and hinge, a needle, a raspberry, and a trapped raccoon. For the author, each of these bits of common terrain transforms into a new-found land, a fresh and less tangible territory that invites a bit of exploration and offers some joy of discovery.

Autorenporträt
Raymond H. Haan attended Calvin College and the University of Michigan. He survived thirty-nine years as an English teacher, pursuing his passion for church music by serving as organist and director of music and publishing music for worship. Since retiring, he has written a light-hearted book of serious grammar instruction, miscellaneous prose, and a good helping of poetry, including Singing the Gamut, Word Songs and Whimsies, Alphabetical Frolic, The Unfathomable Theology of Fishing, Rambles through the Heart, and Going from Here (all Wipf and Stock). He lives in Cutlerville, Michigan, near his four children and a goodly quiverful of grandchildren.
