The poems in A History of the Garden examine a remarkable range of subjects - history and our place in it, tensions between science and technology, art, aesthetics, and spirituality - offering possible reconciliations and exploring ways we construct knowledge and belief as we approach a new millennium. Far from disengaging from the rhythms and passions of daily life, however, these poems use the backdrop of that life to provide constant context for more abstract concerns of the book. For these poems are also deeply personal, rooted in friendship, family, travel, the western landscape, and relationship.
Holidays Amaze

Holidays Amaze

The left shoe angrily kicked the right shoe's heel;
it wanted to step into its space ideal
instead of being forced to move sideways
and switch its preplanned straight path into a maze.

In the narrative poem "The Joys of Learning on Graduation Day," two shoes have stage rage. Like these shoes, we may occasionally want only a single straight path. Most times, though, the mazes of our lives completely amaze us. Especially on a holiday or a celebration, we love having the freedom to choose our way amid diverse pathways.

Holidays Amaze has different kinds of poetry: maze poems, prayer poems, shaped poems, sonnets, and narratives. The varied poems are enhanced by Christian content, historic elements, dream/reality sections, and amazing interactions among family members, friends, and animals. In Holidays Amaze, success often happens, such as with resolutions on New Year's Day, an unblocked writer's block, a reduction of anxiety, and a decrease in impatience while waiting in line.

Multimodal elements add to the amazing content of Holidays Amaze. Images are visible in the mazes, photos, metaphors, formats, shapes, and icons. Aural components can be heard in the rhythms, rhymes, alliteration, and other sound elements.
