In late 1981, I was awakened at about 2:00 in the morning with the first half of a little poem chasing itself around in my mind. I tried to ignore it and go back to sleep, but it wouldn't go away. I finally got up, found a scrap of paper and a pencil, wrote down what I had been given so far, and went back to sleep. When I woke up later that morning, the rest of the poem was waiting for me to write down, which resulted in my one and only children's book, "A Tiger Tale or A Tale about a Tiger's Tail."I have made many attempts to write poems and other stuff over the years, beginning in high school. Most ranged from amateurish to pathetic. This little children's poem was the first time something had just "come to me." It remained part of my "not worth publishing" collection until my wife kept "encouraging" me to publish it.I did keep trying to write, and I now have 13 published books. When you can escape into the written word, it exercises your mind and trains your imagination to think beyond what you see. Only by reading can you go anywhere you want to go, be anything you want to be, and do anything you want to do.

A variety of musings from daily life. Family, nature, beliefs all come together in a culmination of heart and soul. Bringing images to mind while taking you on a journey without ever leaving your home.

Remember when magnetic words were a thing? I had two sets, not on my refrigerator, on the front door. One thanksgiving, words were paired by dinner guests. The paired words took on deep meanings after walking past the door many times. I snapped photos of them thinking someday they would become poems. Twenty years later, on the 20th April of National/Global Poetry Writing Month, they birthed poems. Feel free to borrow any of the word parings for your own poems. Enjoy this collection of positive, intelligent word pairing prompted poems. -Dawn

A collection of inspirational poetry based on biblical encounters, nature and aspects of everyday life.

Rich, complex, exciting, confusing, life, death, and beyond--all words to capture a bit of truth about this very rich, complex world inhabited by all kinds of individual particles emerging into flora, fauna, animals of all kinds, including humans who together make up a unity. This book is my attempt to celebrate the unity and the diversity. Poetry hints of an openness to complexity while certainty tends to become restrictive dogma. Other Ways means to hint that full meaning, complete certainty, is beyond any human capacity ever to establish. Poetry intends to celebrate the richness that is to be enjoyed even though never fully comprehended.

Pandemic at full tilt, the diagnosis came--cancer. Maybe you've known crisis or are walking a loved one through the terrible unknown. The heart plummets. The mind shrills. We blame genetics. Toxins. Lifestyle. How can we not blame ourselves? Can this be thrown on God? If we listen to the emptiness behind every unanswered why, what will we hear? While life and death circle overhead, heckle and intimidate, exhausting faith, these poems talk with touchstones around us. Eavesdrop on whispers for answers. These poems explore what we have--and what's left. Who made the hawk? And the lionhearted songbird? What do they tell us about courage? What else is present?

The Hay and the Barn is a joyful, profound poetic meditation, based on the penultimate year of Gabrielle Bossis's devotional classic, He and I. One might even call it a conversation. Jesus reveals Himself in both her entries and in the poems which come out of them. (This should not surprise us, as He does so in every moment of our lives.) In this book we see Bossis move toward her last passage, and we are privileged to see Our Lord lovingly lay the groundwork for their ecstatic meeting. We get to witness His great tenderness. What we see is a kind of tender memento mori.

Fowler House, with its odd nooks, dicey wiring, and vast, unfinished attic playroom, shelters preteen Larkin. And yet, the house speaks of secrets no one else will. Wild creatures weigh in: a muskrat, fireflies, snails, a vesper bat. The menacing garfish. Troubled parents take on repairs: clanking radiators, crumbling plaster, and beloved Uncle Dunkel, finally home from the war in Korea, his mind splintering. Over three years, lived in the moment by Larkin--and relived in hindsight by Eldergirl--doors open and truth, long-stifled, emerges.

Red Door Blue Frame is a poignant yet imaginative journey into grief, trauma, and growing up. Centered around childhood abuse and growing into adulthood, this book leads the reader through a cathartic rediscovery of self and seeks to provide a light for readers of all backgrounds.

From his vantage point at Nighthawk Ranch overlooking the Thompson River, Ehor Boyanowsky distills his encounters with the people, plants and wildlife that the river valley nurtures into a mythology of her denizens, all beautiful, some dangerous, a few deadly. The poems range from formal verse to experiments with emerging technology to weave a legacy of life in the British Columbia desert.

This is a follow up to my previous poetry book "Open Secret" This book has a darker, more mature tone contrary to my previous book. The poems in this book were ones that I hesitated to reveal to the world. They were personal and cut deep to my core. When I wrote them, I used them as a form of therapy to cope with the hardships I was facing at the time. I hope my readers will approach this book with an open mind and heart.

Diario, continuación de un volumen anterior, en el que se sigue desarrollando la idea de mantener momentos cotidianos cada día.
