What they’re saying about Shades of Green:

"Shades of Green is an absolute delight. From the poetic, almost ethereal
introduction to the profound last sentence of the final essay in this book, Robert
Yehling has accomplished the almost impossible task of unselfishly placing his
mind and sensibilities, intimately and completely, within the reader's grasp. Oncewe pick up this book, we need only relax and trust that the journey will be well worth it. And it is. We actually feel Yehling's light touch, hear his quiet
whisper, as he guides us through his observations."
– Harvey Stanbrough, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award poetry nominee, author, Beyond the Masks

“These poems and essays are lush, lyrical, and thoughtful. Bob Yehling expertly conveys his awe at the small miracles of nature and the power of love. By allowing his words to offer a glimpse into his own heart, he gives us permission to open our own.”
– Barbara Stahura, poet & essayist, contributing editor, Science of Mind magazine

“Master wordsmith Bob Yehling draws together a quarter century of his best with a healthy dose of new work in this sparkling compilation. Spare as haiku, but weaving infinitely delicate songs of illusion and emotion, Yehling’s poems evoke sensitive moments of reflection to which all can relate.”
– Bill Missett, author, Awakening the Soul trilogy
