Reimagine. Poems: 1993 - 2009

📙 In Reimagine, Richard Lee Harris's first
collection of poetry, he leads others on a personal journey
from Alaska to the cafés of Seville while recreating the
richness of the world around him. With the hope
that others will experience life's most memorable moments
through his eyes first and then their own, Harris shares his
reflections on the uniqueness of ordinary experiences, the
relationship of those moments to his natural world, and the
impression these memories left with him. From "Arctic White"
where "Tundra falls into Beaufort Sea, snow dissolves,
translucent in ascendant sun," to "Child of the Desert"
where "Specks of shade in a solar sea cast their patterned
light over an infant sleeping in a hammock gently rocked by
grandmother sitting docile in her cobbled chair," Harris
couples beautiful imagery with lyrical verse to tell a
relatable and emotional story. "... Richard Lee
Harris invites us to reimagine events that are part of a
rich life and introduces us to environments where we can
wander, appreciating the elegance of nature along with the
clash of cultures ..."
