Passport to Me (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780991358328)

In her second collection of poetry, poet Evelyn C. Walsh takes readers on a journey through the day-to-day trials and triumphs that make up a life well lived.

With an eye finely trained on the minutiae of life, Walsh uses fresh, artistic strokes to evoke captivating imagery from modern existence. Nothing is spared; Walsh tackles everything from ordinary days to Sully's Landing on the Hudson, from family holidays in the Catskills to the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, recasting these moments of our time in lyrical form.

With over two hundred poems collected in this volume, Walsh offers something for everyone: tributes to friends and relationships, reflections on aging, memories of a year in Ireland, poems about Vermont life, and poems covering all types of love, including marriage, divorce, and love after death-she treats all topics with the same careful consideration, insight, and attention to detail.

Fans of meditative, reflective, and metaphysical musings will delight in this beautiful and surprising window into the mind, heart, and soul of a gifted poet-and find that it might just be a bit like looking in the mirror.
