I have written 'Poems for All Seasons' with a view to have children conduct a bit of soul-searching while also keeping in mind the important fact that they are 'children'. Most of the poems are 'fun' poems which the kids will enjoy reading. Also there is at least one poem within the selection that every child can identify with. As adults, we at times forget the child within us. I have addressed various 'issues' that a child may have but which may seem trivial to an adult. There is no set formula for a 'stress-free' existence but we can work towards it. Children are very dear to me and with this view in mind, I set out to write my anthology of poems. It is meant to tickle your funny-bone, inspire, lift up your spirits when you are down, and most importantly- to help you value yourself.

Plan life's chapter with loving care, allow the reader a pleasant surprise. In poetic fashion, Larry has created new worlds and characters, recounted personal stories, captured histories of families, fantasies in humor, conveyed affections of life, and shared upthoughts of inspiration, memories, music and musings. Out on a limb, he tells of events and expresses views of a patriotic heart and politics, and shares empathetic poems about addiction recovery influenced by his work in an addiction recovery program. One literary critic said, "The time and care that has gone into this compilation of poetry is clear. I love the line in the opening 'As if taking a selfie, questions of this poem may help in deciding, if just a little, about what our story is, or can be' - I want to share that with the youth in my life in particular and see if they wouldn't be inspired to turn to this creative outlet of writing! The title piece, In the End We're All Stories, is a beautiful work to reflect on, to 'plan a final chapter with loving care, allow the reader a pleasant surprise' is a worthy goal and tool for recovery.'
