This collection of poems was written over a lifetime. Rather than presenting them in chronological order, they are collected and presented in sections reflecting the preoccupations which prompted them. We are all born into some sort of family, to some sort of culture, into a specific language, and to some extent, that is what defines us. Love, whom we love, and how that works out is a topic we all encounter. Joy and contentment mingle in our mind along with disappointment, despair, and existential questions. We all have Others in our life, those with whom we share our brief time on earth - our relationship to family, loved one, strangers, friends, animals, and the environment, are subjects we all ponder. Poets are those of us who can’t resist struggling to record those feelings and jotting them down in some sort of personal style.
