This heartfelt collection reaches across time and memory to offer us resonant portraits of two very interesting people. Her mother and father, certainly. But more than that. The couple exemplifies crucial aspects of our Midwestern life: she, a rural Nebraska woman steeped in nature, family, and faith; he, a second-generation Greek immigrant, adopting country music alongside a hard-work ethic, mixed with Greek cuisine. Lorenzen's poems reach after generational love, the question of \"what is love anyway\" when we try to imagine our elders' lives with empathy and awe. These poems teach us about heritage, home, and community - three place-conscious concepts that guided Lorenzen's career as an educator, and now her poems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert E.
