Like Silencing the Wind threads themes of conflict and war through poems that affirm our shared humanity. They cross barriers of time and continents, beginning with Rodin's nude bronze of a helmet maker's wife. Along the way a photograph evokes a French battle-field; a Gaustaus room, a German one. In Plivička, cascading lakes witness a policeman's murder. War damaged houses lament their lost families. An Armenian girl in a Copper Age cave, a California vet with one leg, a bomb injured Boston Marathoner, Yucatan natives dreaming in thatch palapas, a Taureg nomad, all come to life on the pages. Ending in Afghanistan, a murdered woman's voice for freedom carries on the wind.
