In this part of the "My Body is a Forest", esp. "Elm/Left Arm", I have included poems of strength, courage, nature, manhood, and human kindness. It is with this "body part", we as humans lift ourselves above the daily troubles that strife us all, to something nobler: like human compassion, caring, empathy, and just plain working things out.
This book, holds, so to speak, one half of the courageous poems, about divorce, hurt, and how to rise above those things. Some are hard poems, difficult, even sad, yet in them all you can feel that there is something driving the speaker to lift himself above those "issues" of daily life to a place where people really do "get along".
Because in the end, there is nothing more crucial to happiness in life, than happiness as a member of the Human Family.
