The Red Drum: Selected Poems by Cristina M. R. Norcross
THE RED DRUM is a collection of poetry celebrating the joyfulness of living in the presence of authentic moments. Author Cristina M. R. Norcross writes about the sacred, every day moments that bring us joy, while reflecting on what makes the soul search for philosophical answers to modern living. Inspired by the beauty of landscapes, nature, visual art, music, parenthood, faith and the creative process itself, Ms. Norcross sheds light on why we need to strive for more out of life than just the external or temporal in these poems for every searching soul. Published November 2008, 47 pages, paperback, www.Lulu.com. Also available on Amazon.com and select independent booksellers and galleries. Copyright 2008 by Cristina M. R. Norcross.
