Points of Interest contains poems about people, animals, relationships, life and death. The topics include growing up, getting older, dying, love and struggle. Imagine if the navigation system in your vehicle could display these things in addition to mere locations. Not just banks, stores, restaurants and street addresses, but the thoughts and lives of the people who inhabit those places. As you look at the screen it shows a supermarket, but inside, a young mother checks out her groceries and deals with her frustrations. The screen shows people in nursing homes, the ambivalence of a yard sale, a puppy in its first snowfall and a man reminiscing about all the cats he has owned in his life. Other locations include people dealing with grief, falling in love, divorcing, and fantasizing. Each poem is associated with the physical location of a city and state. Many of these locations represent the geographical place where the poem was actually written. In other cases the poet traveled mentally to a location and incident from his past while crafting the work. Either way, these points of interest, and the people who occupy them, are ready for you to view. Just touch the screen.
