Water for the Rose

Wayne Luthi's Water for the Rose is for those who want a moment aside from the everyday demands for their attention and survival. Luthi's poems are simply structured yet informed by complex pieces of his life: everything from his experiences in the Vietnam War to his teaching of men in prison to his love for his city of San Francisco. Through a collage of images and their juxtapositions, readers are invited into an inner world of the intimate.
