    About this ebook

    A selection of poems from the author's previous books, "A Little Sidewalk Cafe at the End of Time," "Until We Dream No More", and "Wild Roses", together with some things written since their publication, over the last five years.
    The book moves from the innumerable small miracles of the natural world to the incidental, precarious, and nevertheless occasionally wonderful participation of the human in that world.
