I like to think that most of the poems in this book are about discovery. Finding out what the lesson that is life has taught me and the people I love about happiness, about survival. And taught us about the incredible world we are born into, a world that can be full of amazing things if I can slow down, and explore the part of this universe that is mine, and yours.
There are poems about the discoveries science has given us this past millennium, that are both awesome and frightening. There are poems about the shrinking, swiftly fading natural world that should be our permanent heritage to our children.
Yes, there are poems about the commitment and abandonment between men and women, and the promise of the great love that tears us apart or sometimes bonds us into one perfection.
The poems in this book are not always "pretty" but may frighten or startle as often as they tell of mysterious beauty. Because that´s what seems to happen in the real world. At least, it happened to me. The book is illustrated with my ink line drawings.
