The Winds of Spirit Mountain, Paperback/Algirdas Zdanys

Descriere

Description The Winds of Spirit Mountain is a posthumous collection of poems by Algirdas Zdanys. They were discovered in a drawer at his home after his death. The poems are filled with a profound longing for love -- from a woman, a child, a family -- and reveal a depth of emotion and introspection that stops us on every page to consider what it means to move to wisdom in old age and what it means to search for human connection in the face of deep loneliness and emotional pain. A number of the poems focus on the wisdom of the old and on tribal rituals of the Anasazi and their descendants, for whom the quiet presences of mountains, wind, and desert help to unite us all into a oneness and a wholeness that brings peace. It is a search the poet explores in his own life in these pages as well.
