I have written five big books and now it is time for a little one, a handy collection of my latest and best poems: just for fun.
I have been surprised and delighted to discover that not only is my poetry understood, it is enjoyed in far distant places all over the world. This makes me very happy!
Therefore, with all my love, I would like to offer this little book as a heartfelt gift of my humble gratitude, to all of you kind and thoughtful readers who have been so good to me and given me so much: just for you.
Special thanks to my son Stevie II, for his cover painting which somehow manages to illustrate all of the poems in this book in one image, and to Stephanee Killen, who has designed this and all my books so wisely and so well.
I give you then this present, The Little Book of Lance: just for fun, just for you.
I hope you enjoy it.
Love,
+Stevie

"The Little Book of Lance" As the Little Book of Lance comes out No braggadocio for me The self-promotional spout and shout That do-si-do of vanity Strikes me as base buffoonery But celebrating inwardly Quietly then this book will become In transcendental victory My handbook and my vade mecum When I go out I can show it to Friends when I meet them and maybe you In the way my mother taught me Modestly and with dignity And may the arrogant relent If I have seemed so I repent Pride has chased but has not caught me For first and last I am but dust Though I could never tell you why I write my life down since I must I live I write and then I die To give The Little Book of Lance a chance +Steven Curtis Lance
