Drawing from a wealth of material produced over the course of more than thirty years, Frank A. Littles latest book: Little Notes on Autumn Leaves -- a Collection of New and Selected Poems and Quotes, displays the remarkable range of his Life-Learned Little notes based on his innate observation of the world around him. The introduction is beautifully written, but doesnt do justice to the powerful and unexpected emotions that are provoked by the remainder of this written art. Littles new book opens with quotes and poems from 2008 forward; each one reflecting on, and is inspired by, his life-altering incidental diagnosis of gastric cancer and his formidable unsuspecting follow-on treatment. Previously selected quotes and poems were chosen for their motivational impact on the author himself . . . surviving the seemingly unsurvivable, doing the undoable. Littles poems and quotes reflect the profound impact of his lifes observations. His written words captivate you . . . as they stimulate your innermost thought. Little Notes on Autumn Leaves reads like an elegant and sophisticated runway show where a seasoned fashion designer has finally shared his dearest and most precious garments in an artistic, cohesive expression of love for lifes cycle of changes and renewals. Quietly Powerful! This is Frank A. Little at his best.

Paperback notebook 6.0" x 9.0" with approx. 100 pages of college ruled lines on white paper. Great to have with you when you need to make those little notes or big ideas at short notice.
