Author Description

" The beautifully written poems in this collection gracefully weave together intricate memories of the past with reminders to savor the present, and an enduring desire to face what lies ahead with realistic anticipation. The poet evokes powerful human connectedness through stunning imagery, as when the "pallid blur" of losing one's eyesight is provided a new perspective of rebirth and hopefulness as the "Illuminated glint of the sun breaks through gray clouds." Various aspects of nature take on new meaning in their personification by the author, as "a sapling curiously pokes through the snow" and a horse's "tail unfurls in a flourish like a braid undone," while the reader is drawn into a whirl of emotions and experiences plucked from all stages of life."--
