An Enthusiasm of Waxwings

This delightful collection of poetry and prose captures those familiar yet fleeting moments in our lives. The little jewels within harbor insights and observations that reflect universal experiences. They are short glimpses of life clothed in grieving, loss, love and hope. Redemption passes through them all. Susie Risho encourages other people to write or speak their own stories, and this collection of writings inspires the reader to take note of life experiences. The last section tells the story, in brief descriptive sketches, of childhood encounters in the New England woods, mostly with animals. They are expressed in a straightforward simplicity and serve as delightful reading to children.
