Description
In this book, encounter a lifetime’s writing, over one hundred meticulously crafted poems spanning six decades. Here are poems offering acute observations of thresholds in time: backward, forward, and present moment; fantasy and foreboding; stories, soliloquies, musings, and silliness, all suffused with the music of language. For more than fifty years, Rebecca Henry Lowndes has been transposing the music of language into poems. The second of six children, she grew up in southeastern Pennsylvania surrounded by readers and talkers. Building on her high school education and the foundation embedded by several outstanding teachers, she has, through marriage, motherhood, and a meandering career in clerical support, pursued the autodidact’s path through literature.
