Maps and Destinations - Paperback

by Mary K. Stillwell (Author)

Maps & Destinations celebrates the large and small events of life through story, myth, and the contemplation of other works of art. Deep in the phenomenology of time and place, the poems are as evocative as they are telling. Theirs is a lyricism grounded in the story of maturation and growth and celebrate the power of the imagination and the wonder of art. Lyrical and sensual, they remind us of life's brevity while reminding us to embrace the joy our world offers.
