My poems don’t fit any particular genre, type or style; the collection has been written over a number of years and is delightfully diverse.
You will meet indifferent bees, the ghostly shapes of junior trout, the Gentile at the door of the Last Supper, a soldier doing his best, and be able to walk with me on a shining pathway of stars.
My verse may amuse, stimulate and even possibly challenge you. At times whimsical, it is sometimes philosophical and even theological and in one section reflects my time in the military.
Please dive in and enjoy.
