The Importance of Home

The theme for this book emerges from the Great Pandemic of 2020. At this time, with shelter-in-place, there is no sanctuary more important than HOME.

When looking over the collection of poems I had written the past few years, this concept permeated the group and fit the unique COVID-19 world. Starting with physical structure [Prayer to an Architect], and moving to emotional security [Abundance], the idea of environment--place--was apparent. And so I include poems about a variety of personalities, visitors, talents of those living within, as well as philosophies of what HOME represents.
