Life is a real page-turner. You never know what is coming next. Page Turner, Valerie Macon's 5th book of poetry, engages the reader in the smooth and lumpy chapters of life with equal generosity. This lyrical poetry is full of energy and resounding with teachable moments. No happening is too small to escape the poet's eye. The reader is lavished in lessons from the most unlikely instructors-a man howling as he harvests potatoes, a boy left to play in a modern-day lion's den, a disappointing decision at the Snowball Shack. Page Turner will expand and refresh your view of the ups and downs of living. Never knowing what will come next makes life a real Page Turner.
Open the cover of this book and embark on a poetic journey that captures the impermanence that sculpts our world, the fragile balance between creation and decay.

Each poem in this collection is a brushstroke in a carefully painted scene that reminds us that life's creations are fleeting. The poetry in Valerie Macon's Chasing After the Wind will linger in your thoughts long after the last page is turned.
