Seasons of a Refractive Mind: Poems and Aphorisms

A wide-ranging collection of poems and aphorisms by an American writer and public policy scholar born in California in the 1950s and raised in the American South and Pacific Northwest. Topics include faith and its loss, nature and the environment, war, social justice, friendship, teaching, chronic pain, mental health, and the struggle to communicate with others when ordinary words fail. This is a collection that can be read in any order or sampled a little at a time, and it can be revisited many times with new insight and delight.
