Overview

Like Silencing the Wind threads themes of conflict and war through poems that affirm our shared humanity. They cross barriers of time and continents, beginning with Rodin's nude bronze of a helmet maker's wife. Along the way a photograph evokes a French battle-field; a Gaustaus room, a German one. In Plivička, cascading lakes witness a policeman's murder. War damaged houses lament their lost families. An Armenian girl in a Copper Age cave, a California vet with one leg, a bomb injured Boston Marathoner, Yucatan natives dreaming in thatch palapas, a Taureg nomad, all come to life on the pages. Ending in Afghanistan, a murdered woman's voice for freedom carries on the wind.
