<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A deep dive into the Midwest experience through thought-provoking poems, recollections, essays, and vivid stories. Pondering nature and neighbors, bars and commutes--Bob Leonard's perspectives on these quiet aspects of life open up new ways of seeing everyday life. These little nods of Leonard's are at once tiny, but also everything. This is a book to provoke appreciation in the things we take for granted, and spark evenings spent reminiscing with friends and family about what it means to live in the Midwest, or anywhere one calls home.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This is my kind of book "€" fun, provocative and easy to read. Bob Leonard blends prose and poetry with a ring of authenticity true to the ear of a community journalist to give us a portrait of small-town life in Rural America, and its abiding wonders." -- Art Cullen, "editor of The Storm Lake Times, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of the book, Storm Lake: A Chronicle of Change, Resilience, and Hope from a Heartland Newspaper"<br><br>Deep Midwest is an unexpectedly delightful collection of poems, reminiscences and whimsical reflections from native Iowan Robert Leonard. If that leads you to expect homespun tales with homely moralisms, be prepared to be surprised. Leonard's last line almost always takes an unexpected turn, and what he gleans from his lifelong experiences is both -- Ricardo J. Salvador "Director and Senior Scientist, Food & Environment Program, Union of Concerned Scientists"<br>
