SHORT VERSIONWinter's Homecoming is a short collection of poems by Robert Zimmermann to tide us over from his previous collection, From Where I Stand, while he writes more poetry. It's a fast read, but you'll more than likely want to reread at least one of these poems once you finish.THE DETAILSYou can read through these poems in about ten or fifteen minutes--it's a really short read. But what I liked best about this collection was that I wanted to go back and reread a couple of them. Namely, Cutting a New Course and The Boarder.The theme of this collection seems to be "snippets of life." Each poem is a snapshot of a moment in time, complete with vivid imagery or carefully chosen repetition to entice us.Poetry fans will no doubt enjoy this collection, and I think it's a pretty good teaser collection for those who haven't yet read Zimmermann's From Where I Stand. I recommend both. Enjoy.
