Catching Winds North represents my efforts to draw in the air these musical stories in shorthand.
Touched by the scent of burning corn stalks and pumpkins ripening in the sun, February winds off the Long Island Sound, and midnight ferry runs out of the harbor, Robert Hodum in Catching Winds North celebrates life’s delicious moments, challenges and bewilderments.
Hodum’s poetry spans nearly fifty years of creative expression that shares lyrical tales inspired by life’s rogue breezes. Selections written during his life in Colombia speak of the mystery and complexities of this Latin American country. Included are poems inspired by mission trips to Nicaragua that celebrate its people and their folklore.
