Munising’s Embrace- A Poem by David Ritter

Munising’s Embrace– Just back from a soul-stirring journey to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, I’m still captivated by Munising’s stunning landscapes. With autumn’s colors ablaze and ideal weather, it felt more like a spiritual retreat than a getaway. This visit was about more than just the views—it was a time for reflection, prayer, and feeling profoundly connected to the natural world. Inspired by the beauty around me, I wrote “Munising’s Embrace,” a poem that reflects the peace and wonder I felt. While my words and photos capture only a glimpse, I hope they allow you to experience Munising’s magic, too.

ABOUT THE BOOKS


MEMORIES FOR KEEPS

A collection of poetry that reveals one man’s feelings about the world around him: with spirituality the centerpiece of most of his writings, the author touches the hearts and minds of readers with hope, peace, love, humility, wisdom, and wit. While tackling topics ranging from grief to fatherhood, from addictions to friendships, this writer captures the essence of a born-again, alcoholic dad who is grateful to have finally found serenity in life. Today, through this collection of both old and new works, he shares that serenity with you!


BOTTLED MEMORIES

These stand-alone poems were written over many years. While individually they describe the conflicts associated with alcoholism, when read together they reveal a more complete picture of the destruction, depression, and chaos of addiction, as well as the peace, hope, and joy of recovery. Although most of these poems pertain to my life, it is my hope that other people will relate to them also. It’s not only my story but the story of so many others.
