The poems are a diary of feelings before and after Fred and Jan Yager became husband and wife. Some poems are fun and light hearted, others are heart wrenching. This is the case in Fred's story of witnessing 9/11 firsthand. Reading these poems will take you through a range of emotions. In the end, you will be glad to have met the Yagers if only through their words." -Beverly Solomon, creative director for artist Pablo Solomon
