A book of poetry written by a Virginia senior poet who grew up in Appalachia but now lives in Virginia Beach. The poems are a wide-ranging mixture of styles, including free verse, concrete verse, sonnet, haiku, and tanka. These poems speak of love, family, friends, nature, war, the spiritual, and sometimes the unusual in everyday life. These poems are framed by the good, the bad, and the gray area between good and bad in modern life.
