Poetry has a different ring when you speak it aloud. These poems have rhythm, cadence, and rhyme to make the reading of them aloud very satisfying. Different voice intonations help to express the subject: "Puff's Land," the perfection of color when the magnificent island of Kauai is disappearing from view; "Paper Maps?," remembering how we used to travel; "Discipline," the absence of it when computer games has the OCD going; "Waiting for a Train," in the sparkling, old Los Angeles station; "The Game of Life," a musing acceptance; "Awe," the equal of humility; and "Job Hunting: Over!," a substantive relief. These poems are reflections of the thoughtful and emotional observations of an author coming of age in the fifties and sixties. Fear, power, loneliness, and judgment are also subjects dealt with by this observant author.
