In Schetky's fourth book of poetry, Looking Back: New & Selected Poems , she takes us exploring far-off places, including the Arctic and Antarctica.
In free verse, Schetky shares concerns about climate change and aging and her enthusiasm for nature and wildlife.
She notes, nature bestows daily gifts upon those whose eye and ears are ready to receive them.
Schetky, who has lived in Maine since 1986, was pleased to be still able to corral a flock of poems into another book with sketches during the pandemic and lockdown of 2020.
As an octogenarian with early Alzheimer's, Schetky worries about her losses.
She began assembling some of her older poems to save memories of the past and reflect and share them with friends and readers.
The selection Unfolding reveals her background and a flow of eclectic compositions, old and new follows.
The end of the book focuses on finding serendipity in a changing world.
