The Winds of Spirit Mountain is a posthumous collection of poems by Algirdas Zdanys. They were discovered in a drawer at his home after his death.

Produktbeschreibung
The Winds of Spirit Mountain is a posthumous collection of poems by Algirdas Zdanys. They were discovered in a drawer at his home after his death. The poems are filled with a profound longing for love -- from a woman, a child, a family -- and reveal a depth of emotion and introspection that stops us on every page to consider what it means to move to wisdom in old age and what it means to search for human connection in the face of deep loneliness and emotional pain. A number of the poems focus on the wisdom of the old and on tribal rituals of the Anasazi and their descendants, for whom the quiet presences of mountains, wind, and desert help to unite us all into a oneness and a wholeness that brings peace. It is a search the poet explores in his own life in these pages as well.
Autorenporträt
Algirdas Zdanys was born in New Britain, Connecticut, on November 23, 1953, and died on November 17, 2018. He grew up in New Britain, attended New Britain schools, and earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from Central Connecticut State University. He put his many talents and skills with people to work as a policeman in Newington, Connecticut, where he served for many years, and then, after retiring, as a private investigator with his own detective agency. He was an avid photographer, a poet, a storyteller, and a humorist who kept all who knew him happy and entertained. But above all he was Uncle Owl to his nieces and nephews, whom he loved and cherished every day, and for many of whom he was a loving and active godfather, a special position in the family that he celebrated with great joy. And, he was Al (and sometimes Bear) to his many friends, throughout the country and in the Navajo nation, whose friendships he valued and to whose aid he would come readily with a smile and a steady hand.
