For over a decade, many of the stories and poems I have written eventually turned into songs, and for that, I am grateful.

Over the past year, much of what I have written has turned into letters: letters to people, their stories, and the seasons they are in.

Even though I suppose, technically, what you will find in this book is considered poetry, I hope they read as letters: letters for people, places, things, seasons, years–letters for the story and for the storyteller.

There are one hundred poem letters in this book. I share them with you because I believe you have a story to tell, and I hope these poem letters encourage you to keep telling it.
