Dan Cox's first book of poetry is a life's work, from his first "polished" work as an undergraduate to his expression of grief and celebration of the life of his wife on the first anniversary of her passing after forty years of marriage. Here are love poems, observations of nature, a sonnet on the Challenger shuttle disaster, even a "performance" piece. Always the teacher, Cox encourages teachers and students to examine, consider, interpret, question, and correspond with him about what they read here.
