Great Bird of Love: Poems

This short book has one powerful poem after another. Zimmer's images pull you into each poem, as the persona of "The Zimmer" comes of age and learns about life. It's a cohesive collection that reads like a story, filled with the joys and sorrows of life. Celebrating things such as beer and love, and lamenting the aging of a father and the selling of a childhood home, this book will have you smiling on one page and then bring you close to tears a few pages later.
