A Feather in the Wind

A Feather in the Wind: Poetry for the Mind, Body, Spirt and Soul is a collection of poems to stimulate the mind, open the heart, and make the soul sing. A Feather in the Wind is presented in six sections: Peace and Harmony, The Source, Nature, Interconnectedness, On Waking Up, and Dancing. Relocating to the rural south and the solitary lifestyle that transition affords, being surrounded by nature, listening to the sounds of birds in the morning, taking fresh vegetables from the garden, and taking long drives to teach in nearby cities were opportunities for reflection. Over time, Ms. Turner-Fortes recollections of meeting many different people and engaging in diverse conversations became a catalog of words, thoughts, and phrases. A Feather in the Wind is partly the result of those contemplations, giving voice to observations through the literary style of poetry.
