Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry, like life, is a journey. "My Other Path" is a poetic road map that marks the points of interest from childhood to parenthood to old age and beyond; a retrospective collection of American poems delivered with irony, subtle humor and wisdom. They present a comfort zone of unremarkable truths about common experiences that we all share; poems that remind us how we got where we are and that we really aren't so different no matter what paths we follow. The voice of "My Other Path" is children exploring neighborhoods and learning how to curse, southern American Grandmother, Scottish Sailor, Wyoming coal miner, California railroad stockman, laughing dogs and singing mesas. Take a short journey down "My Other Path" and you are sure to recognize the scenery.
