Description Frank Kooistra's Assisted Living: Poems is a collection of gentle, realistic, loving portraits of lives in assisted living.
Each poem, written in plain language and sensitive detail, provides a portal into the daily life and experience of the residents.
Kooistra sees them all with grace, empathy, and tenderness, for he is one of them, and uniquely able to bring his skill as a poet to this chapter of life.
The 77 poems unfold naturally, as if in quiet conversation, but together they form a single, organic, living picture--not just of the elderly but of all human life.
Food, shelter, sleep, love, time, conversation--as readers, we begin to understand more of our own lives--where we are going and where we have been.
These touching, intimate poems are both inspiring and humbling.
Readers of any age will find enrichment here.

Platforma de publicare independentă CreateSpace a fost un serviciu de autopublicare pentru autori independenți, cunoscut în primul rând pentru că îi ajută pe autori să publice și să distribuie cărți tipărite la cerere.
CreateSpace și-a schimbat serviciile la Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).
CreateSpace și KDP fac ambele parte din platformele de autopublicare ale Amazon, iar autorii pot folosi KDP pentru a publica și distribui atât cărți electronice, cât și cărți tipărite.
Prin KDP, autorii își pot crea, publica și distribui cărțile la nivel global, ajungând la cititori prin rețeaua vastă a Amazon.
Dacă sunteți autor sau aspiră să publice o carte, poate doriți să explorați Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) pentru nevoile dvs.
