To Whom It May Concern: Epistolary and other poetic reflections

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN concerns us all for the way it bravely explores, celebrates, and bemoans being human in these difficult, crazy times. Whether writing about loss, love’s yearning, worms, water, or the gifts and mysteries of nature, the speaker’s sincerity, humor, and imaginative probing seduces the reader onward. In the end, you’ll laugh, feel succor, and sometimes weep, but, in weeping, you’re reminded of Rumi’s ＂wound (being) the place where the light enters you＂ so, reading Wayne’s lines, with a tear in your eye, you often feel like the rain in one of his poems ＂following the cracks to find its way home....＂ Dennis Camire, poet and author of Anthology of Awe & Wonder [Deerbrook Editions]
