Love. In "Behind the Pictures I Hang," many poems encompass the theme of love. When Ada Jill Schneider "counts the ways," she speaks of more than young love. Rather, it is the joy that comes from the birth of a child, loving through sorrow, devotion to family--an abiding love that has endured into the poet's 70s. As for Ron, her husband of over fifty, she shamelessly discloses that romance and passion are not only for the young. Whether the setting is Taiwan or Italy or birding on the Taunton River in Somerset, Massachusetts, wherever Ada is, so is Ron.
