About this ebook
Words in Order is a collection of 119 poems written between the spring of 2015 and the fall of 2018. Poems included in this collection include: meditations on sloth and potential; love, lust, and the endings of both; the daily, weekly, and monthly rhythms of a Northeast Ohio orchard; and the pains or pleasures of creation and refinement. This is the debut collection of Wolf Stahl, and includes both rigorously structured traditional rhymed poetry, blank verse, free verse, and a few other surprises.
