Besides
drinking eggnog and telling fibs about intended New Year’s resolutions, it is a
time when some – okay most – of us dream of tropical islands, warm tradewind
breezes and ocean surf lapping rhythmically against white sandy beaches ...
Is it then
an oxymoron that Jim’s poems reflect the cold and deep snow
of his native Canada?
I say
not.
His words reflect not his dreams, but his innermost feelings;
the mark of
a true poet.
About Jim Bennett’s evocative
writing:
Cold Comes Through
Life is about loss. In the
end, we all die. Yet we may face illness and reduced capacity, expected and
unexpected, with fear or courage, faith or despair. These fifty poems are about
that experience....
Behind the Lime Kiln
This collection is about
relationships. These poems were written for human beings living in today's
world, that is, for us, and thus for you.
Hard Landing
Fifty-seven unique,
sometimes scary, experiences. This selection of poems is not for children, nor
is it for squeamish adults. The collection probes unique personal problems of
different lives in difficult situations.
The Scroll of the Violin
These poems cover a range
of philosophy, religion, belief and unbelief: religious poems, atheist poems, questioning poems,
and answering ones.
