“…I see in the flashlight beam, a world of dust . . . massing, revolving back, splitting into twos and threes and lonely ones—”

The poet Rasma Haidri continues, “and I know I orchestrated this fugue of spheres.” I love the way hope infuses this poem – and many of the poems – in this collection. We see stories about people who are looking for greater happiness, and who are finally able to change their perspectives. New possibilities emerge, as in this poem, which ends with these lines, “As I watch, everything changes: dust specks settle into one flow, from solos to chorus, and this, too, I know I conduct.” Bravo! This book is about the power that comes from realizing you can change your life.
