Remnants of a Life: Poems

Description:

An invitation to follow the poet "across the rolling plains and dark roads of Kansas, encountering creatures wild, tame, or something in between. The most frightening creatures in these poems, though, are human." These poems "are shared here in hopes that those with similar experiences might be reassured they are not alone. *Remnants of a Life* explores the shadows we usually keep hidden, as well as the beauty of the natural world and life on the plains. With a view of prairie grass and endless sky as its backdrop, the book is ultimately hopefuk; a testament to the power of words to help us survive difficulties, and a reminder that spring always returns."
