Dodging Raindrops

Posing the question of, "Do I dare?" in whether or not to dodge raindrops, the metaphor for "life happens" is unleashed in this inspiring collection of 28 poems and prose from Poet, Artist and Author of the Misthaven of Maine novels, Loretta Boyer McClellan. Using nature in all its might, majesty and tranquility as a recurring theme, readers engage in an emotional ascent in poetic storytelling, both gratifying and transforming. Several forms of poetry are included in this volume, including Haiku and Tanka, known for their richness of season and poignancy.

Totaling 50 pages, the book was intentionally designed to be brief and lightweight, allowing for readers with chronic hand pain, as well as for those in need of shorter reading intervals to read with greater ease.
