A collection of poetry written over the years dating from the stormy activist era of the 1960's until the present. These poems of loss and redemption focus on my childhood memories of a simpler time of innocence when growing up on the family farm in Puyallup, Washington. The whole range of human emotion is explored from early poems of love to the iconoclastic recent political poem "This is a Recording". This is a poetic journal of the journey of my life: tales of dead ends, detours, depressions, illuminations and epiphanies included.
