Description
With awe and wonder leading the way, Leedahl's poems chronicle a journey that speaks of resilience, of joy experienced in simple things, and of the solace in discovering--finally, and late in life--exactly where one belongs. Leedahl's fifth poetry collection lyrically documents major life transitions and reveals how loneliness--the other contemporary epidemic--compels one to keep moving. .
