A Poetry Journal by Alan Govenar

A personal journey through illness and recovery told through a series of dated poems interspersed with photographs.

"Such spare richness. Indelible images. I went back to many entries again and again. June 4th. March 11th. August 19th. Alan Govenar taught me about Acholi rhythms and touched me with predilections I share: The Bow Bridge, fitness trackers, the blessings of a splendid partner, being nourished and nourishing others, words, family, travel, home, grand babies in the bed, glorious geological formations, dusk."
