Author Description

A fifty-year retrospective, these 41 poems allow the reader to see and experience, at a deeper, wordless level, a mind flowing through time from youth to full maturity, in a remarkably high state of awareness, wonder, vulnerability, and daring. This is poetry brave, passionate, insightful and full of life. All we are given is as a gift: Gratitude for living, and chances To know and love another well. Now, the grit to cultivate Patience, compassion, courage fair; Equanimity amidst deep conflict; Humility and thankfulness for What delicious forms and moments The Universe may offer in its time To such unworthy, blessèd pilgrims. -- from "Letting Go"
