All the Dancing Birds
I am honored and thrilled to have my poem featured in the introduction to All the Dancing Birds, a novel by Auburn McCanta. Both touching and informative, this heartbreakingly beautiful story offers insight into Alzheimer's powerful grip.

Read the interview with author Auburn McCanta here.
It took so long
In days of debris
we sifted for angels.
Now we know:
It's futile to search for solid joy.
Happiness is a vapor, powerful
as wind, but just as shifty.
We do not hold
keys or answers
but vision,
memory, hands.
Mine in yours, every
squeeze says loved
says I am I am I am.

Just read a new poetry book that touched my mind, heart and soul. "What She Knows" by Catherine Rickbone. I hope every women buys a copy! Michele Kemper
Hi Michele,
Isn't that a great collection? Catherine's new book is strong. So glad you liked it too.
