Life Seems Unfinished Without The Language Of Poetry

About the Book

“Life Feels Unfinished Without The Language Of Poetry is a testimony of Wanas’ gift to convey
profound emotions through the words of “simplicity.”
“His work transcends the ordinary.”
“His work is as clean and crystal as a mountain stream.”
“The author’s masterful use of sensory imagery is unparalleled.”
“Wanas’ book is eye- opening, heart warming, and sometimes heartbreaking. But what is
surprising; even those that are melancholy are not depressing but enchanting!”

About the Author

Native of Tennessee. Married my high school sweetheart and father of four.

No stranger to the Canyon Lands of Utah, nor the Wind River country of Wyoming. Sharing them with my daughters and grandchildren is my joy.

I’m often asked about my first name. It’s a First Nation name and means
“One who wanders about the land.”
My sixth Grandmother was Cherokee of the Fifth Nation. Her name was Giga Dadagwadoa - Prairie Flower.

Why do I write?

Writing helps me to feel what I can’t touch;
To understand a voice that speaks to me, but cannot be heard.
Words help to almost have – What I will never hold.
And,
Its language tries to capture what holds me
