Images in the Clouds

<p><em>Images in the Clouds: reading the sky</em> is a collection of poems and images debuting Maria Wells' poetry following her career in academia. Some poems are memories of places and people from her life and travels; some are pure fantasy and imagination. She presents jewels from her treasure trunk with verse colored photos and artwork on a voyage to inner and outer worlds going forward and back in time. The poems speak in detail of a deeply felt life of travel events and people capturing tranquility and chaos within the lines. Every image every phrase every recollection rings true with a sense of emotion and quiet intelligence. Reflective thoughts entertaining stories refreshing realism striking paradoxes humor wisdom and ethereal moments combine to elevate the spirit.</p>
