Böcker av Fred Burstein

Fred Burstein shares his career as a boxer, poet, children's author, teacher, and devoted family man. His memoir reveals a passion for all of the above while also capturing what many people miss -- the little things that children see so vividly and what we, as readers of his new book, will awaken to - the beauty of poetry and a life well-lived.

Fred Burstein is a poet of moments. He enjoys the woodlands around his home and celebrates them in short, lovely verses. From the poet's sharp eye we learn which way the frog faces …when the red eft comes out of hiding … how the wind, rain, sun and snow tickle the senses. We see through the eyes of a child, hear through the mind of a natural man who has spent his entire life amidst turning leaves, red berries, chickadees, bluejays, woodpeckers-and who else do you know who counts the Jack-in-the-Pulpit as a best friend?
