The Last Whiskey Dance

Bill Kemmett is a poet's poet. Approaching his 90th birthday, the muse refuses to let him off the poetic hook. She is constantly with, and within him, during his daily sojourns to the St. Lucie River, tending to his majestic garden and meditations on the miracles of nature and family. In The Last Whiskey Dance, he brings his dynamic vision, style and wisdom to each page. His poems will take readers deep into his Boston roots, provoke outbursts of laughter, reveal new insights and sightings into the natural world and stimulate the screen-numb senses. But to fully appreciate this terrific collection of poems, readers should take the time to enjoy a favorite libation, and toast this poet, for poems that enrich the spirit and unleash the joy and freedom of language.
