This work - third of the Finding Dust Trilogy - explores the perils, joys and merits of progress. Where have we come from? Where are we going? What is change? As important as the poetry is in this volume, equally so are the words in DEFINING CHANGE - what dozens of contributors from around the United States and Canada say about change. The first two volumes of the trilogy - a life story and love phases - are KICKING BOTTLES, NEWS & DUST and Love, Lust & Flirts. The series - part autobiography, part commentary and decades of watching and listening - is the author's look at life and death.
