Palindrome: Grateful Reflections from the Home Ground

by Tom A. Titus

Overview

The essays and poems in Palindrome were born as morning journal entries, riverside scribblings, and phone notes from ridgetops when words howled for freedom. They celebrate the emerald ripple of the Pacific Northwest and embrace departed family, raspberry sunrises, imminent storms, and the bloodshot stare of a sharp-shinned hawk. In the way that a palindrome reads identically, start to finish to start, and contains an internal reflection nudging against infinity, these writings reflect on our relationship with events and beings, beautiful and timeless.

Editorial Reviews

“I'm full of gratitude for these soul-searching essays and poems. They reflect with equal parts grace and wit on the nature of life and death against a background of coastal mountain cabins and eccentric neighbors co-existing in a glorious medley of skin and fur and feathers. This book centers me.” Melissa Hart, Contributing Editor at The Writer Magazine, author of Avenging the Owl.
