When The Light Stands Up

Life is not for the faint of heart. The poems in this book were written over almost three decades. They include experiences affected by both darkness and light, and I hope even more growth. They are not just my own thoughts and feelings, but expressions of pain, life, and learning from those with whom I have worked. These poems are personal, but also universal. Here's to all who name their fears, find the courage to breathe another breath, dance with pain and, hopefully, find a place of rest.
