Occasions: Selected Poems

by Marilyn Chandler McEntyre

These poems, written for occasions, remind us of those occasions that recur—celebrations, commemorations, rites of passage, and ordinary moments of being that linger in memory as turning points or extraordinary encounters or summonings. Tied as they are to particular times and places, readers will recognize in them echoes of their own beginnings, partings, and moments of awakening.
