This Uncertain Voyage - Paperback

This collection of poems explores the ambiguities of existence by re-visiting personal memories and narratives, and re-imagining the future. Perspectives often change by "taking a second look"-at a photo or familiar work of art, hearing anew a Bach Sarabande, or recalling the strains of a love song. Even news of a scientific discovery, or the rise of hate-filled violence in our country presses us to re-examine long-held assumptions about what we think we know-about family relationships, mortality, political truths, the mysteries of the planet. As fellow voyagers faced with the uncertainty of life, we can see through widened lenses and come away with renewed appreciation for this world-for the goldfinches and magnolias-miracles of this "accidental habitat."
