An eclectic collection of poems which explore themes of harmony and existence, the beauty of nature, and cultural challenges, Pepper Grease paints a canvass upon the whims of mankind, the social and political climate of our time, the rhythmic dimensions of music and dance, the complexities of our philosophical quests, and the radiance of natural light and cosmic energy.
Using the succinct poetic forms of haiku and senryu, the structures of traditional rhyme, and free verse, the book juxtaposes the essence of nature's grand scheme and the curious expressions of human consciousness and behaviors; Pepper Grease reflects the merits of struggle and the rewards of achievement simultaneously.
Pushing the emotional edges of anger and sadness through to the abyss of loneliness and despondency, and the emergence of hope and promise together the poems are a celebration of our humanitarian endowments, the vigorous realization of our evolving vision for creating and generating a better world vibrant with intelligent design, equitable prosperity, and universal compassion for all.
