Carried on Silent Wings

About the Book

Carried on Silent Wings is a revelation and affirmation of some of life’s meaningful occurrences. The poet’s recordings reveal experiences, feelings, and thoughts. Haynes affirms her station and thoughts as a woman, as an observer of children, and as an individual. Much of what is contained is a look back at what was, but that backward glance is so poignant that the experiences, the feelings, and the thoughts are each timeless and special in their own way.
