n Through the Out Door is a collection of poetry that moves like the seasons-quiet, observant, sometimes playful, sometimes urgent. From winter moons and summer breezes to political unrest and whispered prayers, these poems trace the delicate line between the personal and the universal.
Nature breathes through every page: cats stretching in moonlight, rivers spilling over stone, oak trees standing fierce against time. Yet beneath the birdsong and snowfall, there is a pulse-questions about division, leadership, memory, grief, hope, and the fragile experiment of humanity.
Some poems are spare and haiku-like, capturing a single breath of a moment. Others unfold into lyrical reflections on love, loss, resilience, and awakening. There is humor here too-a coffee maker adored, a jelly donut celebrated-reminding us that wonder lives in the everyday.
At its heart, this book is about stepping forward-even when the door says "out." It is about choosing renewal. Choosing awareness. Choosing to bloom again.
Tender, reflective, occasionally rebellious, In Through the Out Door invites readers to pause, to notice, and to journey inward-where purpose awakens and the next beginning quietly waits
