Keeping still
by Lois Beebe Hayna
Category: Poetry

With lyrics both musical and sharply focused, this collection of poetry concentrates on perceptual restructuring of common realities in an ordinary life. Subjects vary from shadows and storms to wasps and dancing and convey the message that every life contains pain, failure, joy, and love, all of which can only be fully felt with honest self-examination. Conjoined in surprising ways, the subjects of the poems, as well as the words themselves, take on new clarity and vivacity.
