About the Author:
Retired to New Mexico from New York City, Marie Reilly finds creative engagement and intellectual renewal. Southwest vistas and newfound powers of the pen lead her along a philosophical path that delights the senses. A thunderstorm or a common fly serves to sharpen an understanding of what it means to be alive. In this collection, the human eye and soul witness the grandeur of turbulence in the world. Dr. Reilly lives in Las Cruces with Donald Busch and their cat, Abby.
