Too Late For Fruit, Too Soon For Flowers

An intelligent work, Too Late For Fruit, Too Soon For Flowers follows in the footsteps of author Steve M. Skupien's previous books of poetry (The Wrong Pipe, 2013; and It Rings a Bell, 2016). In his latest book, he continues the examination of the human condition - the characteristics and key events that compose the essentials of human existence, including emotion, aspiration, conflict, faith, and mortality. The book makes for a fitting trilogy. With a keen mind (and heart), Skupien investigates the human spirit here with an insight reserved for a poet. Not without humor, the poems presented here are vivid, unique, and sincere.
