In her 86 years, Marie Cameron has epitomized the term ‘wandering Jew’. Along her path from Nazi Germany to Cape Breton, from Nova Scotia to the Panama Canal Zone, and across North America, Marie has shared conversations with Holocaust survivors, enjoyed a penpal correspondence with Robert Frost, dated Frank Lloyd Wright-trained architect Gregory Ain, marched with Martin Luther King, and had a decades-long friendship with Gerald Traprain, the sixth Earl of Balfour, who was one of the last sailors of the great cutter sailing ships.

Her life has had a remarkable richness.

In this, the final comprehensive collection of her poetry, she explores being an observer in this rapidly changing world. Marie is remarkably active, spending her days in beautiful central Pennsylvania with family and still working to make the world a better place.
