God Lives In a Tree and other poems

The author of two previous collections of poetry, Robert Costa is a full time teacher, residing in southeastern Pennsylvania. In his latest book, the social commentator climbs out on a limb, observing the troubled world below. From his vantage point, he writes about the many social injustices that plague modern society. There is war, famine and poverty, destruction of the environment and political unrest. Between the branches he sees how man has become estranged from family, friends, God and a world that had always seemed safe and secure. Yet, in the distance there is hope, as seen from the highest bough. Rather than surrendering to the gloom and doom, the author finds encouragement and the determination to live each day to its fullest.
