About this title

Synopsis

Coffee Grounds for the Worm Bin is a selection of 46 poems from the body of work written by Glenn Reed in the period from 1998-2018. This collection is divided into seven sections, opening with poems reflecting on the author's early years of life and ending with those illustrating the challenges and changes in perspective of middle age. In-between are reflections on travel experiences, bits of social commentary through recognition of people marginalized in our society, appreciation for the wisdom of indigenous people and exploration of relationships with family and others important in his life. Glenn's poetry is heavily rooted in a sense of place, a strong connection to nature, and a deep appreciation for the many special people he has encountered throughout his life.
