The poems in
In Such Wonder
springs from the moments in all of our lives when the unexplainable happens, or the mind is taken to another place by a photograph or a chance encounter. In these poems, a piece of art or a starlit night sky may draw you into its canvas so that you become part of its story; perhaps a haunting melody or the piercing eyes of a songbird may hold you; raindrops on a pond or a sudden deluge on an interstate may lead you to questions that have no easy answers. These are unexpected, unbidden moments, always fleeting and always challenging to the ways we usually think. These poems invite you to linger among the questions and contemplations that such experiences always evoke.
