The Ashes

The Ashes begins and ends in poetic prayer. The pages in between--an aesthetic assortment of coupled photographs and poems--mark the seasons, remind readers of the mysteries and miracles of God's creation, celebrate the wonders of life, and venerate the grief of death. The verses--often written in the still silence of the morning hours over coffee--practice the time-honored tradition of meter and rhyme and are to be enjoyed by seasoned readers of poetry and poetry newcomers alike.
