Publisher's Synopsis
Each step we take, brings us closer to a moment in our life that may change it forever. Dreaming Missouri explores the nooks and crannies of a life; each moment filled with indelible, occasionally startling, events. Sometimes they happen to us. Sometimes they happen to others. But life impacts life, and Dreaming Missouri uses the lens of poetry to examine the ways in which our lives interconnect, the way that a place you've never been or someone you've never met, collides with you and changes who you are, forever. From love to loss, from love that struggles to survive, to children who leave the nest emptied and lonely, to those whose names we read about in newspapers or hear about on the 6 o'clock news, this raw and throbbing collection of poems will draw you in and remind you that we are all vulnerable and susceptible to the hazards of living.
