South of Contrary
This third book is a companion to my first collection Beyond Time: Poems from North of the Tension Line – with poems telling stories about interesting people and intriguing places from up north to the tropics. A down to earth and real style of relaxing reflections on mellow edges south of contrary.
"Poetry at its best looks both ways: at something specific and peculiar and at the common or shared experience. Larry Christianson is one of those rare writers that aids readers in looking both ways. I see myself and the world around me with more clarity after reading his words. This is a book I welcome!!"

SOUTH OF CONTRARY
Still
Small voice
of solitude,
of silence.Whispering through breezes
soothing,
settling quietly,
calmly.South of contrary –
all along tattered
ledges
on inner landscapes
of humanity.Places of heart
and spirit soaring
on joyful journeys
of hope.Quirky landmarks
and treasured milestones
for all restless
wanderers.
On mellow edges
south of contrary.
