Hearts Bigger than Brazil - Don Perryman - Bog

Hearts Bigger than Brazil is a personal, often autobiographical account of one man's effort to put experiences into words that reveal vividly many aspects of a rather long life, from the challenges of making poems to the variety and beauty of nature, memories of childhood, influences of family (including some very different marriages), valued friendships, the magic and mystery of real and enduring love, coming out and identifying as gay, a rewarding career in teaching, the aspirations of all kinds of artists, pleasures and lessons from travel, the love and pursuit of wisdom, understanding dreams, the sacred, and even ways to approach the reality of death. This book will offer you more questions than answers and more wonderment than expertise, and some poems will reveal their meanings more quickly than others, but reading them thoughtfully will give you a good look at a world that is in many ways also your own. In short, your eyes will be opened here to the true enormity of the human heart. Prepare to think, relate - and laugh a bit.
