Telling It All

About the Book

The verses in this collection reflect selections of the author’s works spanning a fifteen year period. Many verses reflect the places and times of the author’s life while living in California, Oregon and Florida.. Some reflect places in nature and suggests a tranquil state of mind. Some reflect the works of well known poets, including Edna St. Vincent Millay, Jacques Prevert, Charles Bukowski, Rod McKuen, and John Updike. Others reflect life experiences during earlier times of the author’s life – travels, childhood memories, relationships, romance, love, growth and subject matter which is either of interest to the author or which was motivated by the muse. A few consider social and political concerns. Some provoke thought; others evoke imagery. Much is for sheer amusement. There may be two or more verses which may not be for gentle ears.

The author’s primary interests, which precede the author’s interest in poetics, are spirituality, metaphysics and quantum physics. These interests are not particularly revealed through this work. The author may have inadvertently bordered on the esoteric in a verse or two. The interested reader of more selective subject matter, and/or of esoteric nature, is referred to the author’s previous works Quantum Angels and Other Verses and Tarot: Poetic Revelations and Other Verses.
