<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Through evocative storytelling and stylish prose, this collection of poetry explores the story of childhood and the development of observation, sexuality, and spirituality through their connections to the animal world and nature. Nostalgic scenes are depicted through the lens of religion, dreams, and the dangerously unpredictable development of the young soul. Eloquent yet concise, these poems skillfully navigate the suffering, enchantments, and revelations of youth.
