Making a Friend of the Unknown

We all enter the unknown in large and small ways in our lives, yet human beings often find the experience frightening. Reciting some of the most beloved poems of his collection, David speaks of the unknown as an invitation to participate fully in creation, wherever we make our home in the world. Using the language of poetry, he shows that creation is waiting breathlessly for us to take our place in it, whether on the great stage of political events or in the kitchen garden of a warm, hospitable home.
