description: Chased by the Dawn is a collection of poems spanning a lifetime of observation and experience. Humorous, touching, strident, ironic, tender, angry, insightful, encouraging, this American poet paints vivid images emerging along an eventful journey from a Missouri Ozarks boyhood to his present high desert Arizona home. Raised in a home where both the arts and humanity were highly valued, Kenneth Kennon learned to observe life experience and relate to both people and nature from his parents' rich perspective of poet and painter. Poems in this eclectic collection explore a wide range of themes offering observations and encounters with visions of childhood, musing on growing older, life touched with discouragements and encouragements, wise lessons of nature, experiencing moments of routine, elation and grief, interactive with family and a wide community of friends and neighbors met, lost and kept, all revealing a soul's search and discovery of beauty, justice, peace, and a sustaining faith.
