This May Be The Year

These insightful poems invite the reader to reflect on the bond of animal and human life- both the shadows that trouble it and the hope that emerges in its presence. It begins with explorations of the natural world, moving into the equally natural place of human loss and present events that haunt us. Finally, the poems enter the fears and concerns of our moment- the destruction of nature, war, and violence- returning once again to life and hope as the unexplainable gifts that nature gives.
