observation rendered in thoughtful expression. These lyrical poems
remind us that the life cycle and our emotional reactions to
everyday occurrences bring to the surface love, memories, regret
and thoughts of life's ending. An inspiring book."

An excerpt from "Path Into the Sun"
Wide-eyed, bewildered as a wakened child,
a wombat looks up at the humans
viewing it. We walk the sanctuary
as though we own it, talking loudly
like teenagers let out of school,
but wombats, emus, and kangaroos
are regulars, expansive, calm,
like neighbors at a bar, just tolerating us intruders.
