For the Love of Dog
A celebration of the powerful bond humans and their canine friends share. This collection of modern haiku walks the winding pathways of motherhood and postpartum depression, the global pandemic, self-discovery, healing and transformation. The lessons gathered in nature with the family dog and the wilderness discovered within are the bones of this delightful book of poetry.
