A Few Degrees South of Everywhere

About the Book

This collection of poetry was begun after the author met a spiritual guide in the dream state. The guide began to help him find a direction in his artistic life, focus on it, and pursue it.

"When I was young, I was so excited by the arts that I could never quite settle down and concentrate on one discipline. Even now, I do graphic work in acrylics and digital compositions on the computer. But the writings, both prose and poetry, have evoked the best response in the most people. They have taken first place in my creative priorities. After getting a guide, I began writing articles for a local metaphysical newsletter about my adventurers in higher consciousness. From the beginning most of my work was published locally. Later, when my best friend died, I began spontaneously writing poetry and have continued for the last ten years.

My spiritual guide continues to inspire and urge me to be creative on this amazing path called life."
