Not just for the poetry-lover, VIEWPOINTS is a collection of a quarter
century of Ms Brown's work, which includes black and white illustrations
of her oil paintings, drawings and photographs. The author welcomes the
reader to participate in her journey. The book features an honest
account of various moments and thoughts describing an arc from youth
through marriage and widowhood to the present. Ms Brown treats life's
rewards as well as its trials, from the irksome to the outrageous, via
such topics as childhood, marriage, home-owning, politics, art, nature,
aging, illness and death. In Dark Musings: In the early lightness of

in the thinning thick/Where woodpeckers knock beak on bark/Of hollowing
over-watered trees...
