Poetry in Focus

A Photopoetic Journey through the Seasons

Welcome to this book. Within these rustling pages are glimpses of nature, small sanctuaries to read and feel peace. These poems help peek at the wonders of the natural world, from the falling of a petal, to the crashing of an enormous waterfall.

Come join me in this world full of miracles and imagination. Let the burbling streams carry you on your adventure through these pages, while shimmering butterflies accompany you on your journey. Let the soft folds of these words and photos envelop you as you explore my view of the world.

Whether you live deep in the wilderness, or in the heart of the city, these poems will take you to places that you’ve been to before, and help you see the true beauty of everything. I truly hope that in capturing these rare moments, I’ve opened a portal to a world within ours. And may you come to understand the loveliness of the world around you.
