Synopsis

Whispers is a collection of poems, at times uplifting and at times humorous, which celebrate love and the natural world, while they offer a profound reverence for life. As an award-winning poet, novelist, academic and composer, Dr. Russell offers a unique viewpoint as he is legally blind, yet sees with more clarity than those with sight. He received the Grand Prize in 1998 and 1999 from the American Poetry Association.
