Searching for Sanctuary: The Journey Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578278148)

Peter E. Yeager's Searching for Sanctuary: The Journey Home (Poems 1975-2022) has been called "part poetic memoir, part travelogue of the soul." *
The poems show the poignancy of loss, the joys of sharing, and reveling in simple wonders. The ordinary and extraordinary events that shape and give meaning to our lives.
Poems of family, friendships, marriage, divorce, and remarriage in all their telling particulars. Poems that call you home to what matters.
Poems that unlock faith and nature and mark our changing culture. Poems that praise other poets and their poems.
These poems invite you to the lakes, the seasons, and random places from a childhood in New Jersey through retirement in Oregon; and finding homes in Omaha, Vermont and Hungary in between.
From JFK's assassination through the fall of the Iron Curtain to COVID-19, with emotional honesty, vulnerability, and evocative detail - sometimes quietly meditative and always rich in sense impressions - Yeager proves a worthy wordsmith in poems that "deserve to be read often and read aloud." *

* Poets/poetry editors Amy Miller, Patricia Doherty Hinnebusch and Luci Shaw.
