In Gathering Memories, Collecting Dust, ordinary moments become the markers of an extraordinary life: a newborn observed with wonder, a lost toy bunny, a first day of school, a daughter leaving for college, a mother’s memory beginning to fade.Spanning eight decades, this reflective poetry collection moves from a 1950s childhood to the uncertainties of motherhood, the tenderness of grandmotherhood, and the quiet reckonings of aging. Through vivid snapshots of family life, childhood discoveries, old rituals, changing generations, and remembered losses, the poems reveal how the smallest incidents can shape who we become.Warm, poignant, and deeply relatable, Gathering Memories, Collecting Dust invites readers to look back on their own lives and recognize the meaning hidden in ordinary days whose importance was not valued at the time.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...
