Garden of Life: a poetic awakening

Garden of Life is an enchanting collection of thought-provoking poems set in different parts of the world: about great legends and dreams, war (real wars) and peace, nature scenes, inspiration, personal transformation, Covid-19, and what happened to America in 2020. Legends such as the life and teachings of the first Buddha, and tales of the young Egyptian King, Tutankhamen.

Our beautiful world has been torn apart by wars, hate, violence, and Covid-19. It needs healing. Despite our different faiths, cultures, and geographies, despite our politics, we must rise together in love and peace.
