World Thru a Window : Short Poems About Life

From the simple to the sublime, this collection of 33 short poems about life shines a spotlight on our relationship with others (and ourselves) as reflected in the (often) mundane experiences of everyday life.

Each lived moment can be an epiphany - each word or gesture a gateway into a deeper and fuller understanding of our human experience in all its complexity. After all, according to Jiddu Krishnamurti “Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself."
