This fifth collection of poems continues to explore the themes first introduced in ACE RAIDER OF THE UNFATHOMABLE UNIVERSE, which center on the life of a beloved brother Chris as seen through the eyes of his sister. We sense this shy man's independent spirit, struggles to conform to society's dictates, and follow him through back breaking jobs, an impossible work ethic, the downward spiral of drugs he wrestles to contain after the sudden death of his passionate mother. While addressing serious issues these poems celebrate life in all its joy, sadness and complexity
