Life of a Hand

It’s not an easy life, being on the road, traveling from east coast to west coast, chasing jobs and the all-mighty dollar—but it’s a compelling one. There’s satisfaction in creating something of beauty, precision, and craftsmanship—things built with your own hands. But there is a cost: missing home and loved ones. Life of a Hand gives a window into the world of the hand, with thoughts on work, the lure of the road and the next job, and the family left behind. Experience the everyday life of the hand, in poems that share the struggles and good times, heartaches and love, tears and laughter of today’s traveling souls.
