Crossing Over

Great artworks and artists inspire many of the poems in this new collection, from early religious icons to expressionist canvases, from a buttery girl in a Flemish landscape to the contemporary chainsaw sculptures of David Nash. The title piece is a moving tribute to World War II veterans on a D-Day memorial excursion, while other pieces focus on the lush landscapes of and personal reflections on the author s travels to California and Tuscany."
