    About this ebook

    "Passages: Time Over Mind" is a volume of poetry that depicts life over decades, with mutual experiences in details that recall distinct memories faded over time. This "First Edition" is a record of a Yankee reinterpreting the season after two dozen years of the new Southern traditions and appreciation for the celebrating the season in the South. Whether you are from the North or the South, you will enjoy the verses in "Passages: Time Over Mind".
