The Sea Lion Who Saved the Boy Who Jumped from the Golden Gate

The title poem in The Sea Lion is based on a true story, and its suggestion that there is magic in the world, even at the darkest moments, could be seen as the implied metaphor for the book. These poems were written to connect with others on earth who are wrestling with grief and loss; they also celebrate the love of friends, children, trees, our indivisibility, our deep connectedness with all.
