Cursed with Wings: and Other Frustrations Larkin Powell

"Cursed with wings: and other frustrations" is a collection of original poetry and prose that captures quiet moments of life and death in the sacred spaces of nature, farm, and family. The author takes you under a whirling flock of cranes, into a morning on a Sandhills ranch, and through the lens of time in a Solomon Butcher photograph. Sit under a shade tree to watch a field become planted, bounce along rocks to visit an African village, and clap along as a bar singer brings out the best in her aged audience. "Cursed with wings" asks the reader to contemplate the frustrations that haunt us and the small moments that make life rich and full of meaning. All proceeds from this book support children at Future Professor Preschool in Windhoek, Namibia.
