Gnome's Gnotebook is a work of contemporary poetry reflecting thirty years of observing life. Poetry is art and all poems included within Gnome's Gnotebook are literary paintings translating the visual natural world into mental images, which are then re-interpreted by each person in light of his or her own life experiences. By sharing and re-interpreting these experiences through the art of poetry, we come to understand the very uniqueness of who we are in the created world and hopefully, to appreciate the dignity of our common humanity.
