Description
These are poems of the sea, the wind, the earth, the family, the aging, the challenging beauty of love, and the bitterly comical foibles of humankind. They are vividly descriptive of nature and encoded with allegory. Each poem takes you by the hand into a crystal story of striving or failure, of ecstasy or pain, and leads you through a vast or miniature landscape of yearning, fear, and comfort. It is a book of travels--inner travels that will not let you go after you have done reading. The verses will keep you thinking--and feeling--long after you have put the book down.
