The memories of the poet’s childhood loom large in these image-rich poems. Lilacs in Lavender Light is filled with wonderfully rhythmic poems: the green Eden of grandfather’s grass, the lilac hedge hugging the grounds, the May foaming of spiria. Boyhood friendships and the dawning of sexuality are touchingly recalled. Later poems deal lovingly with the loss of his wife of fifty-seven years and his life as an aging grandfather. Shot through with a wry nostalgia and a keen eye for remembered detail, this collection will leave a lasting impression on the reader.

Lilacs in Lavender Light, is filled with lush, light-brushed imagery caught in the perfect prism of the poet’s memory and his profound recollections of what others might let fade. This collection will waken your memories.
