I never really appreciated the "man behind the curtain" until He had pulled every lever. All along though, in moments I didn't fully understand at the time, I turned to poetry in an attempt to express feelings which didn't seem possible in any other form. 

Ironically, the emptiness and uncertainties which stalked my life were inexplicably soothed as each world of worry was poured out onto every new page. The process was both liberating and salvational as it steadily led me out of my "old" self and into the "new." Frost called it teaching by poetry, I discovered it as redemption. Here are ten of my “turns in” and a musing about each in this small chapbook. You are invited to see if any of them speak to you, where you are.
