Tapestries of Silence

This book of poetry-written by a retired university professor who was deafened during childhood-reveals the challenges defeats and triumphs of living in a world that often ignores those who live and struggle in silence and who are cut off from access to communication and information. Filled with words of longing poignancy resiliency spirituality and love the author uses a tapestry as a metaphor to illustrate how all those challenges have come to be woven into one whole fabric of a meaningful life.
