Only Resolve, Collected Love Poems

Earl LeClaire's poems are written in everyday language. It is as if while reading them he is sitting in the room talking to you. However, that said, his poems are also, structured. Christmas Story, for example, is a "prose poem" but put down in a well-arranged form. For me, as a visual artist and musician, LeClaire's poetry is "word music" and as Plutarch said "...poetry is painting that speaks."

~Harrah, artist and musician.

In this collection of poems, Earl LeClaire lays his hand on the heart of the reader; cheering, consoling, challenging and delighting. LeClaire's poetic inspection of life experiences has resulted in an exceptional compendium of poetry, with each poem reflecting elements of a life well spent. His final admonition to his reader is that love is, indeed, the only resolve.

~Douglas Roberts, author of Soul Witness.
