This review is from: Harbor Lights (Paperback)

Jim Ostheimer's Harbor Lights follows on the heals of his first book of poems: Blue Yonder. Twice as many pages; twice as many beautiful insights. These are short poems which reflect the world around us. I especially loved the poems about the seacoast and his cat. I am becoming a poetry convert.
