Funny, poignant and human, this delightful book of poems takes you inside the mind of its 86-year-old author, with stirring reflections on aging, anxiety and many other topics. From well-observed snapshots of our world today to pivotal childhood moments frozen in memory, you’re in for an exciting journey.

With the engaging variety of poetry styles including free verse, rhyming, narrative, haikus plus the dynamic photography, the book creates a thoughtful and vivid experience.

Here are a few excerpts from the poems:

or wandered into lion’s lair…

When I Look in a Mirror

I see a face that is tired worn but not old

a word I do not use for anyone

I prefer antique...
