New Footprints in Old Places (1917)

A Little Book of Poems is the authoras first published volume. From the silly (aAt the Laundrya) to the serious (aRainaThe Sky Is Weepinga) to the sublime (aI Will Take Youa), these poems reflect the authoras often whimsical, usually offbeat, and sometimes off-center, view of life. In aDriftingaTheme and Variations, a the author reflects his training in music, and experiments with tone and rhythm, viewing a single poem from divergent perspectives. He hopes you will enjoy these poems, and not try to dig too deeply into underlying meanings, looking for keyholes into the authoras psyche. As he says in the opening poem (aBeginninga): Itas all just for fun Anyway
