Black Lab: Poems

Attuned to the Midwestern seasons, this collection of poems explores both emotional and physical landscapes. David Young invites readers into intimate moments with nature, from the fox at the field's edge to the first daffodils of spring. Through personal reflections, he addresses profound themes of loss, scattering his father's ashes, and mourning his wife, Chloe. Influenced by Chinese masters, Young also celebrates simple joys, like walking in a snowstorm with his black labrador, Nemo, blending beauty with the complexities of human experience.
