Synopsis

The poems herein are breathtaking in their variety, ranging in form from traditional verse of every sort, to free and experimental; in scope from lament for extinct birds; to protest poems; to lyrical beauty; to deeply felt religious subjects; and most of all, to even more deeply felt family poems. Humor is not omitted. It is hard to characterize this collection as a whole, but perhaps love and passionate caring best typifies it -Jacqueline Jackson
