This fourth collection by physician and poet, Greg Stidham, is a broad and wide-reaching collection. It comprises eighty-eight poems, organized into eight sections, each titled with descriptions that give the reader some idea of what to expect. The general "topics" range from nature, to sociopolitical issues, to personal reflections on grief and grief counseling. Other poems speak to the poet's reflections on his own personal ailments that accompany aging, along with the inevitable intimations of mortality. There are also poignant poems speaking to his love for some of the many rescue dogs he has adopted over the years.
