Using What's Left (In progress)

After losing his thumb in a car accident, Chris Newman spends decades in a meaningless cycle of drinking and loneliness, that is, until he meets Pearl, an elderly resident at the nursing home where he works, and finally finds love and a reason to live. Using What’s Left is a story of redemption.

Jasper

Street life is good for the kitten Jasper until a flash flood washes him far away from Broadway and his family. Jasper spends weeks trying to get back home—but that home is gone forever. In his new life are obstacles and challenges.

"Those living in Vermont can easily identify with Rob Hunter's poems in his newest book, Wild in the Dawn. Humorous, eloquent, realistic, they portray the small dramas of day-to-day life in a town surrounded by mountains, forest, and their animal inhabitants. If nature is always present, so are people, and often there is tension between the two. Yet these poems are not confined to place, as they touch on universal subjects such as love, beauty, loss. Something memorable is encapsulated in every ending stanza. All speak to our humanity, all satisfy."
