Goodbye Birds & Other Poems

About the Book

Emilie Griffin's new collection of poems invites us to share her journey "through the grassland of unknowing." Her hope is for wisdom to flow, for moments of delight, for deeper understandings of joy and sorrow. Here and there readers will find a touch of her characteristic humor, and always, gratefulness. These poems are brief meditations, the fruit of a long life of unexpected challenge and surprise.
