Come Before Winter

Ken Hada

Come Before Winter is an invitation written with a keen and pressing awareness of time passing, measured, and marked by the turning of seasons. Like the pastoral letter from Paul to Timothy, from which the title is taken, these poems arrive as exhortations to the reader to meditate, as Emerson says, on "the flux of all things."

Praise for this book

Ken Hada's poems in Come Before Winter are exhilarating: richly textured, humming with energy, and deeply felt. Hada finds depths where no one else bothers to look. I read this book twice and I'm just getting started with it.
