Mending Worlds

Forty-two poems on dealing with the transitions life throws at us, and looking for messages and meaning in the things, and the places, and the people that surround us. From war-torn Ukraine (Unsilent Spring) to the stunning Pacific Northwest (Ruby Beach), from autumn in the Midwest (The Ghosts of Sharon Wood) to the tropical environs of South Florida (Creatures of the Air). Poems that pay homage to the past, but recognize the need to push through the here and now and find a future, out there, somewhere. Also included are the varied voices of The Republic of Dreams, including the title poem (Mending Worlds).
