Where do you look to find the beauty of the world?
Is it in a place that has been recently featured in a tourism brochure? Perhaps, away in a foreign country that lies a journey by airplane distant?
Or could it be closer to home - right beneath your feet and before your eyes?
A Few Places Near Home is a picture-poetry collection that finds the beauty that surrounds us all the time.
It is the beauty of home, seen through the lens of the passing of time and the approach of evening.
A celebration of sunset and the gloaming hues that recur in new forms and variations each day.
A Few Places Near Home is the here-and-now of beauty in our lives combined with contemplation that is the poetry of evenings and of autumn. The maturity of days.
