These poems come from forty years of watching, thinking, doing and writing. Long and short, traditional and free, they dig deep into the way people connect with each other, the way they disconnect, the way they hold themselves together in a whole range of situations. Some are written in a poetic voice, others in a vernacular first person. They represent for the author a reflective holding of the breath as life moves on and other people change and grow.
