Abstract:
Retired and transplanted from Chicago, IL. to Tucson, AZ, Rubin Kelner captures life’s moments and examines its details in this collection compiled by his daughter, Beryl. His poetry, composed in his own inimitable style of both rhyme and narrative, relays topics that include his love for Arizona, the fun of holidays and visits, nature as heard and seen from his home, and the pain and re-adjustment following loss. Kelner presents light-hearted views, poses questions, and counsels others to keep active in body and mind. Share his thoughts and you will certainly stop to smell the roses.
