Poems and Perspectives

The following poems and perspectives are drawn from years of personal and community-based work with people who are ill and those who love them. Imbued with a vibrant faith, humor, and insight wrought from suffering, these reflections are meant to inspire hope, evoke what it means to be human, to love, laugh, suffer loss, have faith, and endure.
