Book Description
Lowell A. Levant had the twin vocations of poet and truck driver. He rose to prominence in Berkeley in the '60's as a member of the Artists, Musicians, Poets, and Sympathizers Local of the I.W.W., whose work was collected in Poems Read in the Spirit of Peace and Gladness. Readers will notice four main qualities of his poems. First, as observed by his mentor, Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gary Snyder, there is "... the complex depth of his writing about work, machinery, trucks, equipment, repair, maintenance---all in a deceptively slightly befuddled voice that masks the surprising competence of what's being actually done." Second, there is attunement with nature, characteristic of "Deep Ecology" poetry. Third, there is music, which he also created when he played a Jew's harp, sang, or strummed his guitar. Finally, Lowell's poetry often took the form of the unfiltered, unfettered, free-associative declarations of the Beat Poets of his time, particularly those of Allen Ginsberg, whom Lowell admired.

Book Description
Life has had it's ups and downs. The last twenty years or more have been in control of an eighteen wheel transport truck. This is my poetic interpretation of the the happenings at work and home. Being alone most of the time, lets the mind wander. Having the pleasure of watching my family grow over the years, has manifested a plethora of information. Some of my work is whimsical or fictitious, but nevertheless inspired by the world around me.

Book Description
This is a collection of poems I wrote between 2000 and present. There are about thirty-three to thirty-six poems in here. In my opinion, Kids Are Our Future and Marriage in the New Century are my two best poems. I wrote both poems at the start and have won two editors choice awards for outstanding achievement in poetry. Been inducted in the Poetry Hall of Merit, been published in the UK, won a twenty-four-karat gold lapel pin. One of the poems a friend took and turned into a song and used it for his wedding song. I am very proud of all the accomplishments theses poems have done and decided to put them into a book.

Book Description
“Rising above the usual singsong name-checking, Vestergaard celebrates not only the jobs these machines perform but also their marvelous mechanics.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) Sixteen boisterous, rhyming poems — each one highlighting the job and personality of a different vehicle, from a backhoe to an ambulance to a snowplow — invite young children to meet their favorite trucks face-to-face. Cheerful illustrations show each one in action, digging (or dozing, or dumping) away. Engaging visual details like an anxious turtle crossing the street just ahead of a steamroller are sure to keep preschoolers poring over the pages as they consider the question, “Trucks as far as eyes can see. . . . Which truck would you like to be?”
