Drips Gurgles Chirps
 
  Drips Gurgles Chirps is a book of haiku-inspired poems of a solitary winter 1999 on Lake Inez in Western Montana. The whiteness of the frozen lake, the gray sky, the pale moon, the constant flurry of snowflakes, all provided the opportunity to look inward and to awaken. The brevity of the poems captures the beauty of the moment. Woodblock cover, design and printing by two Swiss artists; Andrea Rothlin and Martin Wallimann.
 
"I smile when I think about this book. It is warm and friendly to the reader. It feels as if the writer has used the stillness of a winter season to put his strongest thoughts into poetic form, thereby giving voice to his integrity. Very enjoyable and touching."

"This book can be summed up in one sentence. Lord, let me be more like my Berner! Actually, if I were more like MY Berner, the world would not be a better place, trust me! So I guess the summary would be more accurate as, Lord, let me be more like Barry's boy Moritz! Combined with the beautiful illustrations, this makes a lovely children's book! If only we could all take it to heart!"
- Pat Long, bookaholic and collector of children's books


"This...story is a reminder that all children and adults need in their libraries as a way to remember that sharing kindnesses with one another can change the world."
- Ann D. Looby, Trauma Psychologist and President of Funding African Children's Education, Inc.
