Mel Senator, a Norwalk resident and professor of American history, is also the author of "Catskill Summers" (2000), "Reflections in Haiku" (2006), "Soft Landings Poetry" (2009) and "Soft Landings in Poetry 2" (2011).

"Soft Landings Finale" frames a panorama of the natural world that is both sweeping and intensely personal in scope. This third volume of poetry is a departure from the first two Soft Landings books.

Although Senator still spends time among the gulls, waves and clouds, in the finale of the trilogy, he takes a look inward to the changing tides and sunny reflections of his own psyche, of growing older and sometimes wiser and sometimes not. Senator’s eye misses nothing and stares unblinking at the twilight of our days, while still finding humor in everything he encounters, and comfort in loves old and news.

The book is available online at Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com, or by calling iUniverse Press at 800-288-4677.
