Book Details

These radiant poems offer the reader a passionate insight into the continuum of love and longing.

These poems explore the mystery and movements of love and passion in birds and wind, in lovers, in an artist, in a soldier, in a Buddhist, and through an old man’s longing for his dog. The poems give us an ecstatic, sometimes sad look into love lost, found, and rediscovered—the lyrics are a beautiful defiance of death and the yearning seen in all things.
