Language Barrier

Bob Stanley's Language Barrier is a collection of decades' worth of poems that ponder, reminisce, and celebrate his travels to China, the coronavirus pandemic, the California landscape, climate change, and more. His words carry you through time, from the earliest evidence of the written word, to ancient Chinese civilizations, to childhood memories in the Central Valley, to yesterday in the garage, and then beyond, to the imagined ¿Note to future." Whether it's through free verse, iambic pentameter, or prose, this collection of poems showcases Stanley's love of words and their inherent musical meter and the boundless ways to express his take on life's experiences.
