A Lone Bird in Flight is a poetry collection that explores three major themes: living under the crush of good and bad that befalls us day to day and year to year; a deep concern for America and the fate of democracy; and a look at "dwindling years" as he writes about fears, happiness, dying, lost love, twilight years, and other themes reflecting 90+ years of living.
