内容简介：
Dorien K. Miles's poetry was first published in a Midwest newspaper as part of a fourth grade class project. It was then she decided to be a writer. She continued to write poetry through her growing up years in Nebraska, marriage to her hometown sweetheart who was in the U.S. Navy, life in San Diego and Hawaii. She wrote poetry during civilian life and a transfer to Washington State, where the couple finished bringing up their six children. Each poem portrays a facet of life in a simple and strong voice, with images that leave echoes. She has been published in several states, including Hawaii. Her book of poetry "Changing Seasons" is being republished as Part I of this new book. "Changing Times," Part II, consists of later poetry. She has also published two mystery novels set on the Olympic Peninsula, an historical novel based on the life of her grandfather, and fifty short stories and articles for children and adults. Now a widow, she lives in an apartment complex with views of Mount Rainier to the east and the Olympic Mountains to the west.
