Blue Cedar Press has a new book by Roy Beckemeyer, honored last month with the Nelson Poetry Award and named by the Kansas Authors Club as its outstanding poet. Watch for it later this month. Roy’s poems are lush in language, play humorously with the sounds of words and consider the natural world and human experience from his unique perspective. You will nod and smile as you read. Mouth Brimming Over would be an excellent gift for the Holidays. Savor Beckemeyer’s words like you savor your favorite tastes.
