Like a Lotus

The author of "I am My Mother's Only Poem" returns with a new poetry collection centered on reverence for nature and the ongoing search for self. Whether it is the squawk of crows in early morning, the flutter of butterfly wings on a sunny afternoon, or the hoot of an owl at midnight, Cassese finds music and prayer in all aspects of nature, from the desert and mountains, to the oceans of her new home on the west coast. In each area she uncovers a new aspect of herself and imparts that newfound wisdom through these gentle and deep reaching poems.
