In this far-reaching poetry collection, Kevin Arnold explores the intricacies of relationships, enhancing his observations with reflections on the little things in life. The book begins with the journey of his wife's descent into Alzheimer's with all the struggles and revelations involved. The collection's title is from a letter written by Alois Alzheimer, who, in response to being asked where she was 'right now,' responded, "Here and everywhere, here and now, you must not think badly of me."These poems move well beyond Alzheimer's to reflect with vision and clarity on episodes he has shared with his children, teachers, students and lovers. The poems provide glimpses into urban, suburban and rural experiences, often accentuating his appreciation and respect for nature and the environment. His poetry has been widely published in numerous literary journals. Kevin has previously published a chapbook, Nineteen Poems around a Divorce. His award-winning novel, The Sureness of Horses, was published in 2018. Kevin Arnold's wisdom, sincerity, truth shine forth in these poems. His love of life and of language mingle like bare legs. You read bareback and are edified by their power and clarity: a life distilled. Jill Hoffman, Editor, Mudfish Magazine Kevin's poems turn ordinary events into compelling tales. The conventional becomes captivating; the pedestrian becomes provocative. Full of fact and feeling and, often, a clever twist, his words may leave you thoughtful or smiling, but always well-fed. Jayne Jaudon Ferrer, Editor, YourDailyPoem.com Kevin's poetry delivers meaningful concepts with a gentle touch. His perceptive, often ironic, view of himself and the human condition leaves the reader with a warm awareness of our connectedness. This is why "Kevin's Much-Loved Poems," his featured series in US Represented, continues to perform so well with our appreciative audience. Eric Stephenson, Editor, USRepresented.com
