<p>Between night and dawn silence and song despair and hope - poetry finds its place.</p><p><br>In this collection Early Santee explores the fragile balance of living: the shadows that weigh us down and the small patterns of light that carry us forward. From the haunting stillness of <em>The Forgotten Snowman</em> - a national award-winning poem - to playful musings on love memory and even laughter in unlikely places these works reveal a voice unafraid of truth tenderness and wit.</p><p><br>At once intimate and universal these poems invite the reader to pause reflect and find beauty in both the quiet and the storm.</p>
