Description

This book is a treasury of wisdom which deals with life's great questions, ambiguities and ironies. There are many poems of self-discovery from an eighty-year-old vantage point. It is heavy in poems which discuss relationship experiences and reinforce our universal links to the natural world we inhabit. Poems embrace several forms: narrative, free verse, lyric, villanelles, and sonnets. While most are short and pithy, there is always something to ponder. There is hope for humanity in these poems.
