Journey Through Sun and Shadow

About the Book

Journey Through Sun and Shadow is a dramatic insight into the author's journey through life-the loves, ambitions, disappointments, and achievements. It ranges from celebration of life to the specter of death. Much of the setting is the beautiful golden coast of Southern Calfornia and relects a deep love of nature. The poetry is set against the broader background of Western civilization and a lifetime spent as a Shakespeare scholar and teacher of Western European literature. The poems are basically lyric in form and are in stanzaic and rhythmic patterns that have long endured in English literature.
