Life is Listening: Poems and Drawings of Dixey Brooks

Poetry and drawings of Dixey Brooks
A beautifully produced volume of lyrical and soulful musings on love, nature and the cycles of living and dying, embellished with Dixey’s whimsical drawings.

Life is Listening is full of beauty and wisdom, and insights from a life dedicated to family, and a love of nature and dance. The poet’s experiences and understandings become the reflections of a wisdom keeper, brought to life with rhythm and a love of words. There are delightful drawings, which lighten the journey, never far from these pages, of union with the beloved, of when the river meets the sea. And the final poem, May I Go Gentle, echoes Dylan Thomas’s dying of the light with a prayer to meet it, not raging, but softly. -Tony Kendrew, author of Feathers Scattered in the Wind
