Author Description

This collection of poems may best be viewed as an album of photographs capturing a panorama of experiences that cover more than half a century. Earliest memories focus on special moments when the author spent time as a boy and as a young man on his grandfather's farm, as well as observations of simple features of the natural world that fascinated him. Some poems reflect inward journeys into the realm of faith while others capture outward journeys to places both near and abroad. The book opens with poems of love and closes with remembrances of people who were especially important to the author. What unites all the poems in this collection is that their words will touch personal chords in the hearts of readers.
