Sinopse

The Medicine Wheel turns through each of the eight sections in this collection, with the poems gathered into each part touching on many subjects: nature poems running through the seasons, personality portraits, social concerns &ndash, such as the plight of refugees, the treatment of animals, and persecution leading one to consider the price of being true to one&rsquo,s conscience. History is touched on in Part 5, with the Cathars, and the fall of Montsegur remembered, but through it all one gets a sense that the Wheel is turning, through good and ill. The final turn comes at the very end, with Rembrandt &ndash, in his painting of the two companions who, with Christ at Emmaus, sit down for a meal at the end of the day &ndash, finding perhaps &lsquo,the truth within the symbol&rsquo,, leading one to ask, did the painter indeed find the real good medicine, what &lsquo,he had been seeking / all his days&rsquo,?
