A collection of poetry that covers literary themes from the down to earth to the idealistic, from the prosaic to the abstract. The author relates to the personal and delicate connection to, and a profound perception of, the emotions and sentiments that the creative process evokes. Such subjects as human relations, love, motherhood, the quest for new beginnings, war and its attendant suffering and anguish; deliverance, and the vagaries of social change--all these expressed in the author's distinct poetic style and language.
