Publisher's Synopsis
"We see the same Sun and Moon - day and night.
We touch the same ancient soil.
We breathe the same air -
You take your share and I take my share,
We exhale and exchange air again." From "Sage at 4:00 a.m." This second collection by David McDonald expresses themes of nature, parenthood, life and death, and gratitude for small joys in life. It includes several tanka (a new form for the writer) and a large selection of haiku.
Almost all of the poems in this collection were written between August 2023 and May 2024. The poems "Sage", "Unkindness", and "Tanka For Lily" have also been anthologized in the 2024 Anaheim Poetry Review.
