    About this ebook

    Many of the poems in this volume are love poems or poems about people and places whose memories are cherished by the author. Some other poems are about difficult challenges that arrive unannounced. All of the poems included in this volume are written on an intimate level of expression meant to draw the reader into the situation or experienced described in the poem. It is the hope of the poet that these simple poems will find a home in the readers' hearts.

    Regina Alberty

    Regina Alberty is a poet by avocation and a lawyer by profession. She is a longtime resident of the City of New York. Her poetry speaks of her daily experiences in a constantly changing urban environment. The author acknowledges that the City has been preeminent in the development of her appreciation for those moments when the only thing to do is to record an emotional response to an event that transcends familiarity.
