PHP 630.00

The poems in this collection are rich in epiphany, irony, and imagery, musings on the arts, music, painting, literature, music, painting, literature, and the human condition. Add satire, social commentary, and advocacy which come from a sharp historical and political sense. And journeys into the cosmos, the universe, and the remotest galaxies. Ultimately, she reaffirms faith in the child in the manger. The deeply personal is subdued compared with her first book.
