Join Fred Zirm on his daily meditation of cycling at sunrise. While he traverses both real and virtual roads, he draws parallels between cycling and his own life-and all our lives-on this rapidly spinning planet. You shouldn't text and drive, but Fred shows us all how to compose poems, full of grace and humor, while biking down the road of experience.
------------
Fred Zirm's Cycling at Sunrise is a poetry collection that gives us an insider's view on bicycling as a sport for the person who is an adventurer at heart, but it is more than that. Zirm gives us a kind of bike rider's philosophy. What matters on a bicycle is what matters in life. We must stay focused and present in the moment. Zirm's poetry reminds us of this truth.-JOHN BRANTINGHAM, author of Life: Orange to PearFred Zirm's Cycling at Sunrise captures the spiritual essence at the heart of the poetic practice of cycling. Through exploring all that the word 'cycle' embodies, these fine poems also offer good advice for living our best lives. Zirm is obviously an avid cyclist who speaks with earned authority, offering up sharp, vivid descriptions of his rides, but you don't to be a cyclist to appreciate these poems. -JIM DANIELS, author of An Ignorance of TreesAt one point in Cycling at Sunrise, Fred Zirm counsels, 'Never apply either brake/ in mid-air.' Like a poem, a bike 'offers no pretense/of protection.' A 'sermon in sweat, ' this wonderful book discovers that 'what helped cause the crash/ helps the healing.'-RALPH JAMES SAVARESE, author of Never Make Them Cry: Classrooms & CoffinsAlso from
