"I want the joy of bird calls, merry in the morning," writes Gwen Lane. Her collection of poetry, anchored by her abiding faith in God, and often accompanied with her photographs, explores themes such as family, nature and her courageous battle with cancer. Beginning with her poem "Meteors at Night," she explores the faith connection we have with nature and our Creator. "The Worn Ones" compares the trials of life to how seashells endure the ocean's waves. In "Dream" she touches on the experiences of living in the country. Her poem "Line Dance," published in Trout Magazine, relates the excitement of landing a trout. This book, published posthumously, is a tribute to a gifted poet and beloved family member.
