Publisher's Synopsis
Posing the question of, "Do I dare?" in whether or not to dodge raindrops, the metaphor for "life happens" is unleashed in this inspiring collection of 28 poems and prose from Poet, Artist, and Author of the Misthaven of Maine novels, Loretta Boyer McClellan. Using nature in all its might, majesty, and tranquility as a recurring theme, readers engage in an emotional ascent in poetic storytelling, both gratifying and transforming. Several forms of poetry are included in this volume, including Haiku and Tanka, known for their richness of season and poignancy. Whether challenged by physical or emotional pain, grief or life's daily rigors; seeking peace, have already found it, or wish to share in a written form of it, Dodging Raindrops: Poems and Prose of Beauty, Peace and Healing offers an empathic approach to resiliency, strength in adversity, and being at-one.
