A Book for Susan: Love in Winter and Other Poems

This collection invites the reader to travel with the author from the Alaska Highway to Las Vegas, sharing reflections and experiences along the way. John Bunyan makes an appearance, as does Shakespeare. A painter appears, whose work has stirred the interest of one of the world’s major galleries-an artist who came to North America from Australia by way of Shanghai, and who for many years was the author’s friend before he disappeared along with what are now estimated to be hundreds of his works. The reader will have the chance to take a long walk across a well-known city by night, attend matins sung by robins, and visit churches and corner stores while observing a spontaneous combustion of bees, mobile vegetables, several happy animals, and gardens filled with gorgeous flowers. A Book for Susan is a poignant collection of poems exploring themes of love, faith, and nature and sharing vignettes of daily life in the country and the city. This book honors the memory of an extraordinary woman and is shared in gratitude and thanksgiving to God, in praise to Him for His gifts to us of faith and hope and love through Jesus Christ. Celebrate Christ’s love with the help of one who has long studied, taught, and loved Christian poetry.
