The Litter of Leaving: Collected Poems

THE LITTER OF LEAVING is a collection of largely autobiographical poems by scholar and poet, E.M. Beekman. In this volume, Beekman focuses on the trivia, pain, humor, romance, and consolations of a full life. The poems chronicle Beekman's life experience and search for beauty and peace in an unsettled, often cruel and disappointing world. The book's title, THE LITTER OF LEAVING, echoes Beekman's view that poetry is appropriate clutter for a prolific writer and wordsmith to leave as a legacy.E. M. Beekman is the author of 'The Litter of Leaving: Collected Poems' with ISBN 9780962965142 and ISBN 0962965146.
