EBOOK
About
The three sections in Patterns in Henna contain poems from three parts of my life; most of the first two sections are set in British India in the thirties, forties, or earlier, an era and place gone forever.
The poems in Section I are impressions from childhood with the point of view of a child or adolescent and reflect attitudes of the time.
Section II is about my father and his family. It is because of them that I spent my formative years in India. Many poems are based on family stories.
In Section III, I write in my adult voice about return trips to India and then move on to a group of more reflective poems.
