Poetry from the Other Side

Poetry from the Other Side is the product of 50 years' worth of experiences-experiences Dr. Lynn Bruce McNeely believes we all have. May we all find ourselves within the pages of this poetry collection.

About the Author

Dr. Lynn Bruce McNeely was truly blessed by having a wonderful, perhaps extraordinary, set of parents. They urged him on through Wake Forest College, then the Medical College of Virginia.

McNeely's father loved the outdoors, so that every Saturday afternoon he and his father would head to an old farm to explore the fields and woods filled with great oaks, squirrels, and the occasional red-tailed hawk sailing by. Over many years, McNeely took mental snapshots of old people on the farm, sunrises and sunsets, and small fields of two foot tall pines into which tiny spiders would spin fragile webs overnight to be adorned by frost, creating strings of diamonds decorating the little trees at first light.

All of these magical moments turned into fascinating mosaics, which became Poetry from the Other Side.
