Synopsis

"To The Far Country" is a unique collection of poems written by a woman who has reached her ninetieth birthday with courage and wonder. She visits the terrain ahead of us all as we encounter the adjustments of aging and the loss of loved ones. Her explorations include the natural world, what it means to be human and our place in the universe. She is our guide on the road to growing older, acquiring along the way a stronger sense of simply being alive. Her poems are meditations of the soul. If you think the goal of poetry is truth, then you will find it here in clear and graceful language that all can comprehend.
