Written by a father and daughter who share a passion for philosophy, poetry, music, literature, and learning, one finds in this unique book of poems wisdom and insights born of common human experiences: illness, loss, anxiety, loneliness, betrayal, disappointment, and uncertainty; as well as the transformative power of hope, joy, meaning, purpose, agency, family, faith, friendship, and especially a devotion to the people, pursuits, and practices beloved by the authors.

“Poetry does not hold the same place in the public consciousness  as it used to. But songs do. Allan and Meredith have written a beautiful collection of poetry which could become songs, straddling both worlds seamlessly.”

Kelly Willis, American singer-songwriter
