Nero has attracted attention in recent years through published collections of his poetry. \u003ci\u003eWoman By the Shore\u003c\/i\u003e (1990), \u003ci\u003eThe Mulch Pile\u003c\/i\u003e (1993) and \u003ci\u003eSpring Again\u003c\/i\u003e (1997) firmly established Bob Nero's standing in the field of poetry. Several creditable poems also appeared in a well-received book about his travels with a tame Great Gray Owl: \u003ci\u003eLady Grayl: Owl With a Mission\u003c\/i\u003e (1994). Even a recent account of his archaeological exploits, \u003ci\u003eThe Site: A Personal Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e (2001), contains some appropriate poetry. His most recent poetry collection is \u003ci\u003eGrowing Old Together\u003c\/i\u003e (2005); as with all of the aforementioned books, it was published by Natural Heritage Books.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRobert Nero and his wife, Ruth, live in Winnipeg, Manitoba.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 1993\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344415809843,"sku":"9780920474839","price":17.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/xsr8xFV8eC9780920474839.webp?v=1778725504","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-mulch-pile-and-other-poems-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
