Publisher's Synopsis
The life that Law Enforcement Officers have chosen presents challenges that force them to find outlets for their stress: Some choose to take up sports, others seek the solitude of fishing. A few lift a pen and become that rarity so honored by the Youxia of China, the Daimyo of Japan, and the Tommy Atkinses of Britian: a warrior-poet.
One of these poets is a voice for the Law Enforcement of the High Desert. Kevin Lieby became an essayist, a bronze-plaque poet, a satirist, and a playwright. His works speak of themes as complex as they are simple: the camaraderie of solitude, the joys of loss, and the peace in the heart of the storm.
Amid his works published in magazines, newspapers and a scattering of memorials, this volume includes material never previously released.
The poet was an officer with Washoe County Sheriff's Office for over 30 years.
