Drowning in Peach Juice

Please note: 'drowning in peach juice' was originally published in 2007 by Modern English Tanka Press under the title, 'this hunger, tissue-thin.'
With 'drowning in peach juice' Kimmel draws us into blue nights, erotic longings and traces of humanity that juxtapose his enduring ties to family and land with a yearning for urban jazz and café lights ... A man in love with life, music, women and art, you'll find Larry Kimmel has mastered his craft, reflecting all of the highs and lows in 'drowning in peach juice, ' and leading to a poem that speaks of finality with few regrets . . . "what delighted me most now leaving me petal by petal" .
Linda Jeannette Ward
