My son said the words of my poetry Are like stones smoothed and rounded by the sea
Like sea stones I have carried from the beach I carry his analogy with me While savoring the sayings all and each Of his and other hearts in my own heart As inward echoes after when apart
Love grows down deep like the roots of a tree And up from these roots through trunk and through stem Through bud and through bloom the seed comes to be Smoothed like these sea stones and rounded like them As life is love so love is poetry
Sea Stones is a distillation of the essence of this modern master's late poetry, tracing the poet's passage from the death of winter through the birth of spring into the life of summer, a blooming of the light in which every moment matters and every word tells in ascending progression through the days to always, through one life reclusive to all life inclusive, from +Steven Curtis Lance's heart to yours.
An uncompromising artwork of meticulous quality, this ninth book of Lance is available in both softcover and collectible hardcover editions worldwide.
Softcover Edition, $8.95; available globally from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Blackwell's, and all major booksellers worldwide, autographed on AuthorsDen, and directly from the publisher: http://www.lulu.com/content/393223

Sea Stones Among "Bestsellers in Poetry" at Blackwell UK
"...and may all our dreams come true."
I have just been so pleasantly surprised by a bit of good news that I feel like sharing it with someone, and who better to share it with than you who are so kind as to visit me here?
My new book Sea Stones, ISBN-10: 1847286003 and ISBN-13: 9781847286000, is now to be found among Blackwell UK's "Bestsellers in Poetry."
Although I was born in the USA, the Lances are an English family, as is my father, so it means so much to me on so many levels to be accepted and my work found worthy in the United Kingdom.
Everyone tells me that my new Sea Stones book is by far the best of all my nine thus far. I do hope you will have a look at it, and that you will like it as well. They tell me I am getting better at my work through practice.
Thank you for allowing me to share my happiness with you.
I appreciate everyone eating Lance snacks, but there is no direct benefit to me thereby. It is my little book, Sea Stones, which saves me.
May we all be successful in all we do, and may all our dreams come true.
Respect and solidarity,
+Stevie
A glimmer of hope in a glimpse of light At the tunnel's end at the edge of sight Appears through my tunnel-vision tonight Dim in the distant darkness as I grope Toward what could be a heartbreak but I hope Since were it not for hope the heart would break
So I believe tonight and I will take This spark across the shadows as a sign Despite what clock and calendar may say That someday some peace of mind might be mine If not right now in the future somehow If not today at least not far away
As those who judge such things give second looks Beyond what clock and calendar allow At me like what they see and buy my books
