The In a Moment poems deliver a kind of meditation that considers how we have damaged and continue to damage the world we live in by our capacity to create harm through our activities and through the products we manufacture and carelessly dispose of into our environment without considering the caustic effects such products have on that environment. The poems also consider the never-ending wars we find ourselves engaged in, and the many mental and physical effects, not a few of which are permanent, the participants must suffer. Some of those effects are made almost tangible by the poems which also encompass words of hope and solace. Here, in places, we also find occasional humor softly woven in.
