Book Release
Saturday, December 28, 2024

Jim Wilkerson will be releasing his new book of poetry, Winter Poems.
Jim dives into the world of everything winter. What are the sounds, sights, and smells? What emotions manifest during this season? He reaches into his own experiences but also tries to look at the life of others to examine what winter means to all of us. You will read poems about the beauty of winter. You'll witness love. You will also get hit with suffering, anger, and depression. Winter, like every season of life is just that - life, and that is what this book is about.
