Book excerpt: Drawn from episodes over a long life, the poems of My Mind's Eye survey the joys and sorrows, the affirmations and contractions of the world. The natural world becomes a mirror for human actions. And if simplicity is sometimes trampled by our greed and recklessness, knowing our true place restores at least a corner of the world. Includes illustrations by internationally acclaimed artist, Elaine Franz Witten. Advance Praise: "...a clear-eyed awareness of the human condition in its full actuality...Marshall Witten's My Mind's Eye-by turns wry, deeply loving, empathetic, and soberly realistic-is a signal achievement. The world feels a safer and saner place for the lessons in this stirring volume." -Sydney Lea, Vermont Poet Laureate (2011-2015) "Witten's My Mind's Eye views experience through the lens of a poet's observations. One poem states 'To look is to ask...'-and that is what these poems do." -Tricia Knoll, author Broadfork Farm and How I Learned to Be White
