About the book

These sonnets praise the everyday heroism of the common man by which in a universal sense includes each gender in this lovely, little corner of humanity in New Hampshire. The simple language of these sonnets stays true to the original aspirations of the poetic form in transparency and resonance. Yet new sonnet sequences and cadences are introduced to refresh the sonnet form. If you have never traveled to New Hampshire, then this brief book of little songs calls you to visit and share our rich sense of place. If you know New Hampshire well, then perhaps these sonnets on living simply and mindfully will serve to confirm the joy that resides here. A cheerful traveler, choosing intently to seek meaning in a plenitude of everyday miracles, recognizes many simple gifts in the grand, mystic journey of existence. In New Hampshire the common man is ingenious in connecting to common ground.
