An impressive, moving, and assured debut collection of poems about the richness of nature, human emotion, and the human condition in general. Innovative and fresh, at times playful at times serious always with a keen eye for the tell-tale detail. Rooted in personal experience, the reader is exposed to and invited to share in the poet's intimate emotional journey, joy, elation, wonder and sometimes fragile memories as well as his iconoclastic take on common Western myths.

Beginning with a welcoming message to the reader in the opening poem 'Dear Reader' that any personal interpretation is as valid as the author's to the challenge of the last poem of the collection 'My Ode to Joy' to find the personal 'addition to the sum of creation, ' this collection is sure to delight the reader.
