This is a revision of a poem collection published in 2010 as The Big Conversation. Richard Leach is a poet and visual artist from Stamford, Connecticut. Since 1987 he has written sacred lyric poetry which has been widely published and sung as Christian hymns and anthems. In 2009 he shifted the direction of his work to secular poetry shared online, and in 2010 collected the first 16 months of that work in The Big Conversation. This re-titled edition has a new introduction, and twenty poems used in a later book with the photos that inspired them have been removed.
