Facets of the Poet

About the Book

The poems and stories in this book deal with everyday situations, and place them in a framework that transcends time. They highlight the special feelings and events of the life cycle: the birth of a child, the death of a parent, and all of the rites of passage that intervene. The focus is on commonalities: the shared feelings of human beings across the great divides of culture, continent, and time.
