Author Description

Voices from the Meadow of the Mind of the Wandering Spirit is a collection of poems over a life infused with the experiences, biases, and meanderings of a child of nature, growing up among Minnesota lakes and swamps, and going on to immerse himself in studies of the majestic Great Lakes for 40 years. The poems delve into the mysteries and lessons that our fellow plants and animals provide and often probes the role of humanity in causing extinctions and climate-change catastrophes. One person's exploration of nature and humanity, this collection considers what it would be like to fly through the universe unimpeded and see first-hand, the black holes, stars, planets, and galaxies it holds.
