Echoes From The Earth

About the Book

There are things that cannot be said. There are feelings that cannot be spoken. Poetry is the art of pointing at these; of dancing about them until the reader recognizes an old friend, dimly remembered. Something familiar, heard at last for the first time. Join me now on that journey, and let's make poetry together.

About the Author

About The Author Steve Cavin grew up in a small town in southeast Michigan, about an hour north of Detroit. At the age of 17, he began camping out in the backyard, testing out his tent, sleeping bag, and stove. At 18, he left home with fifty-seven dollars, and began hitchhiking west around the world. Four years and 30,000 miles later he returned, with eleven dollars and a Chinese fiancée. Mr. Cavin has worked many different jobs, crewing sailboats in California, picking fruit in Australia, teaching English in Hong Kong, fishing in the Israeli desert, and packing coffee in England. He now works as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, where he lives with his wife and three sons. He practices archery, runs meditation retreats in the mountains, and hosts an open microphone in the local coffee shop, where he tells stories and reads his poetry.
