"On the night of May 27, 1964, thousands of New York City residents, whose dwellings overlook the Hudson River in lower Manhattan, had ringside seats for a spectacular wind-fanned waterfront fire that lit up the Jersey shore. A fire that, before it was brought under control some hours later, taxed the combined efforts of four FDNY marine companies, five FDNY Engine companies, 16 JCFD fire companies, 14 Coast Guard vessels, and 21 Pennsylvania R.R. tug boats.

Gripping True Stories from a Fireman’s Life…
- By Mike L Lane on 12-07-16
Publisher's Summary
It is said that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. If that is true, then Harvest Leaves and Roses will emerge as a riveting salute to T.S. Eliot and Walt Whitman.
With neither pretense nor ornamentation, Peavy continues the project of Eliot in freeing poetry from its straitjacket of sentimentality and rhyme while accentuating Whitman's sensuality. Yet, this volume is not just about imitation. It digs deep into the zeitgeist of the 20th century and exposes it for what it is with fresh insight and the skill of a linguistic surgeon. However, there is neither anger nor condemnation within this book of poetry. Instead, there is warmth, hope, and an abiding tenderness. Although many subjects are treated herein, they are all done so in the rhythm of life and the spirit of the upward spiral of humanity, which continues even in the darkest of times.
This small volume of poetry is big in its call to come to the harvest and taste of the fruit of life. Baby Boomers will find it rich with cultural references, which they can enliven their parties by seeing who can guess the most ones while church groups can gather together to see who can identify the most biblical references. Now that is the life of poetry.

This is an awesome book of poetry! My good friend, Rev. Dr. Don E. Peavy, Sr., covered every topic from Christianity to poverty to love to despair to family and death. And he covered each topic in such a way that you were forced to think about how the poem. impacted your life.

Best contemporary poetry around... Inspirational!
I'm not a huge poetry fan but I was intrigued by the sample. Turns out to be the best combination of sensitivity and spirituality that I have either read or heard in recent years. Romance, faith, nature, universality... it's all here. I'll be quoting this book for sure in the remainder of my life. So many things here I wish I would have said to the vast array of people in my life. Thank You Dr. Peavy.
