My Mind's Eye

Drawn from episodes over a long life the poems of My Minds Eye survey the joys and sorrows the affirmations and contractions of the world. The natural world becomes a mirror for human actions. And if simplicity is sometimes trampled by our greed and recklessness knowing our true place restores at least a corner of the world.Includes illustrations by internationally acclaimed artist Elaine Franz Witten.Advance Praise: ...a clear-eyed awareness of the human condition in its full actuality...Marshall Wittens My Minds Eye-by turns wry deeply loving empathetic and soberly realistic-is a signal achievement.
