Dayle Herstick's poems are photographs of moments in a life. They are about happiness and laughter, sorrow and fear, and the growth of a family. "Over time one's viewpoint changes. What motivates me now is so different than in years gone by. Then it was creating a family, nurturing and guidance for all ages and stages of childhood and a career, with all of its stresses. The ability to reap the benefits of these achievements and to create various art forms is my current perspective," says Dayle. Readers will understand and connect with the everyday experiences that are captured in Dayle's poetry - a link to the past, a moment in time from the days "When We Were Perfect."
