Product Description Please Don't Ask is an eclectic mix of spiritual and secular poetry written by Lyman Ditson. You will find inspirational as well as comical work in this book. Do not be surprised by the occasional critique of situations that are happening in the world today. Two poems, "Cricketland" and "Adobe Land" will seem very familiar to those who know Austin, Texas, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. The inspiration for these poems comes from not only a deep commitment spiritually but also an awareness of how day-to-day life can be affected by things outside of our understanding. Please Don't Ask is enjoyable both as a casual read but will also be of interest to students of life in general. Please Don't Ask is suitable for readers of all ages and all students of life. Review Please Don't Ask by Lyman Ditson"One of the great things about modern poetry is that it doesn't insist on similarity and consistency as benchmarks of success.  A book of poetry today doesn't have to contain only poems that take place in a specific location or only those of a particular metrical pattern.  It doesn't have to be love poems or political poems or spiritual poems - it can be all of these and more.  Modern poetry thrives on variety and purity of self expression, no matter the form, and Please Don't Ask fits right into this ideal."Rebecca Ross, YFR reviewer"A wonderful poetry collection that will delight readers with its authentic humanity, deep insights, original-yet-identifiable sentiments, and a linguistic playfulness that conjures the priceless mix of tears and laughter. Highly recommended!" The Columbia Review
