Long Shadow Days: Grief Walking is a collection of poems and essays by internationally recognized performing artist, Rick Wamer.

Rick's work is embedded with metaphor, and he has, since his earliest memories, been uplifted and nurtured by nature. His imagination and creative spirit is inspired when he is immersed in a natural environment, enlarging his capacity for creative work. Many aspects of the natural world find frequency in appearance in his performance art and his writing.

The Sonoran Desert, of which he calls home, is such a place of spiritual elevation for Rick. He invites you to come visit her beauty. She is balm for all the losses of the heart.
