Windows offers the reader a life-affirming journey, through rich prose and award-winning photography that explores what it means to be human. This thoughtful, accessible poetry delves into universal themes of love, loss, growing older, growing wiser, regret, and ultimately, hope. What is our relationship with ourselves, our family and friends, and this beautiful earth? From the aurora’s dance over an arctic lake to snowmelt streams in the Rockies, from wolves in the north woods to pink skies in the Caribbean, from hurricanes on the Outer Banks to puffins and whales in Ireland - Windows asks what it means for all of us to adapt, survive, and thrive. With a love of nature, a background in ecology, and a keen photographer’s eye, Windows weaves a rich tapestry that will remind the reader to be mindful and appreciative of the world around them and the people they cherish.
