Calming the Wilderness

Calming the Wilderness was inspired by observing nature of the human kind and of the natural world. When the author's mother faded away into the wilderness of her mind and later died from dementia, the author began to examine the relationship between the challenges of the natural world with those that we encounter as human beings. This collection of poems offers fresh insights into the joys and challenges of living in the high desert and discovering the gifts of its wildness and wilderness.
