Poems and Musings

In Poems and Musings, Burl Sorenson opens the door to a lifetime of stories — equal parts heartfelt, humorous, and wholly human. With a poet’s heart and a storyteller’s instinct, Sorenson blends memoir, verse, and vivid imagination into a unique collection that’s as unpredictable as life itself.

From nostalgic tales of childhood and eccentric family gatherings to reflections on faith, aging, and resilience, this book is a celebration of the everyday moments that shape us. Whether it’s a poetic tribute to a father, a wild story about a ten-foot man, or a candid look at life on dialysis, Sorenson’s voice is unmistakably authentic—sometimes raw, often funny, always real.

Witty, warm, and a little wild, this collection invites readers to laugh, reflect, and remember that life, with all its messiness, is worth writing about.
