Thoughts Recollected in Tranquility brings together my feelings, reflections, and reminiscences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

These poems are not about the disease; they are about the resilient human spirit. There is sadness, but there are also memories, relationships, excitements, imaginings, and the wonder of birth, growing up, and marriage as the circle of life goes on.

The book takes in all aspects of our lives—each poem comes straight from my soul. The collection varies in tone from amused to melancholic, and from matter-of-fact to imaginative.

Step inside. Enjoy!
