Reviews for I Have Walked Through Many Lives
by Alice Persons, Publisher
This anthology was put together by Bruce Spang, who teaches English at Scarborough High School in Maine. It is a collection of poetry by students in his sophomore American Literature courses. The students read a lot of poetry, including many by Moon Pie Press poets, and wrote their own poems inspired by these works. Bruce worked with the young poets on revisions, chose the poems, and put the anthology together. Over 50 poets contributed to this collection, which is a very strong one that I am proud to publish. The book is a testament to Bruce, an inspiring teacher, and to the talent of these wonderful young poets.
Sample from I Have Walked Through Many Lives
The Waitress
You always have a smile on your face
and your vibrant, scarlet apron matches your pants
with your new blond streaks of hair, stunning.
You bring me water before I ask,
never forget to bring extra lemons
and can read my mind,
"Eggs and pancakes, like always?"
When you go back to the kitchen
I can barely wait: "just one second"
lasts forever
until I hear the clicking noise,
your dark brown shoes,
you're back. You know what,
let's open up our own restaurant,
The You and I.
People will come to sit, eat,
be served by you,
your enormous everlasting smile.
Even if our food is bad,
we'd have the best waitress in town.
Check, please.
