Overview

These poems of vignette and reminiscence take the reader on a rollercoaster of emotions - from the sorrow of watching aging parents decline and die to the delight of a Facetime call with a grandchild; from wonder at the beauty of nature to dismay and frustration at seeing it despoiled; from the pleasure of witnessing a small act of kindness to disbelief at the inhumanities we see all around us; from a doctor's self-recrimination when a patient has a bad outcome to the joy he feels in knowing he's made a life better. Each of these poems sings with a particular cadence and resonates - be it with regret or resignation, forgiveness or hope.
