Lots of similes and metaphors and that sort of poetry stuff. Traditional work where the term "craftsmanship" can still be applied. It's not the sort of poetry a person zips through like a comic book, but the type that should be enjoyed over a cup of hot java, a box of bon-bons and a snowy day outside. From philosophy to satire, Hoyt covers the gamut in these 15 poems.--Roger-Kyle Keith
