I have one more “beyond” photo to share. This one the mock-up cover of my book of poetry which will be published by Finishing Line Press in May and which arrived this week for my approval.
There’s many instances of beyond behind this cover. One is the photo itself which I took one day while out driving back roads. If you look closely, you’ll see a horse at the far edge of the pasture, almost beyond sight. But the other beyond is the content. The book includes poems I wrote shortly after returning to Kansas in 1999, my mother coming back after I did, her death, the death of two close friends after that (death being the great beyond), and at last, Cliff and my marriage which is beyond anything I expected.
I’m happy about this book. And the step that takes me beyond the place of being published but not having a book of my own–and having one. “One more step along the way,” some wise young men once sang. (PS: there’s a lot of white space at the top of the cover so you have to go beyond that to see the photo!! See what “beyond” leads me to?)

Janet,
I’m looking forward to reading your book.
THeresa
Love the cover of the book and look forward to buying one to read – hope all is well!
Thanks, Dana. I’ll be putting out information soon on how to order one. You’ll be included!
Congratulations! What a great phase of accomplishment and notoriety for you, Janet with the movie and now a book of poetry too.
Thanks, Valorie, for your support.
there is always more beyond what we can know, it’s what inspires us to move forward. (into the fog, i like to say) beyond is the story of human adventure. beyond is where the stories of the past come from.
oh, and the boundary is were we stand right now
That’s a great line…”beyond is where the stories of the past come from.” And remarkable in its simple complexity. Thanks!
