Hidden Lakes and Dragonflies

On a thread not long ago, I was reminded that, whether we believe in fate or not, whatever we write is fated, by its nature of being a story. This made me think of the odd and seemingly incompatible differences between fiction (what we wish for, perhaps) and reality. I think we do what we can to bring the good parts of our fiction and fantasies into real life, but even that has unforeseen consequences.

From Avalon to Zanzibar; from city lights to starry nights, from infant oracles hovering around wax candles to blazing campfires in snow-topped mountain passes, Hidden Lakes and Dragonflies is a timely collection of poetry, as seen from the real-life experiences of a man, whose imagination captured the humor, fantasy, romance, and wonders of nature that will bring a smile to your face, or maybe a tear to your eyes.
