I've always admired writers who can transport the reader's mind into the scenes they are describing. John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, Peter Matthiessen's Snow Leopard, and Huston Smith's The Religions of Man. There are so many great poets that connect people to nature. A few that come to mind are William Wordsworth, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sara Teasdale, and Douglas Malloch.

This book is about a perspective on the seasons of change as experienced by the Maiden and the Crone. The title, Bookends of Life, sprang to the forefront of my mind even before I started organizing my poetry. What better way to hold life together than with the generations shoring each other up?
