Chronicles of Humans with Nature is a follow-up to Still Brooding on a Strong Branch; a pendulum that swings between the memories and experiences of family members and our engagement with the natural world. In this collection there are eighty na-ture and humanistic poems that honor the memory, pay tribute to, and sanctify the lives of loved ones. One of the most central and universal topics for poetry is some aspect of personal sorrow, grief, mourning or another related loss, springing from the central core of the human condition. The poems extend in rivers beyond the loss in terms of their emotional and imaginative range that one hopes will transcend and reverberate in many places. I have tried to create multi-dimensional poems-- broad and deep, models of us humans with nature, as rich as we are in the full world. Poetry writing has taught me to search for all the moments in nature and experiences where life is on the edge, where change is only a heartbeat away. It is the inevitability of change and loss that is the most somber reality of our world.
