Jim Greenwald,
New Paris, PA
"Across the Bridge"
A book of my poetry released by PublishAmerica January 20,
2008. Available from the publisher as well as Amazon, Borders,
Barnes & Noble and most book stores.
A journey of the heart! Enter, and share the feelings,desires
and emotions we all experience in this the cauldron of the
adventure we call life. Blended into who and what we become,
who we wish to become. This is emotional poetry, sharing life
and the deep feelings of the heart and soul. Each poem tells a
story that I hope tugs at your heart or the corners of your
mouth, and brings a tear to your eye or a smile to your heart.
Congratulations, Jim!
