A collection of poetry infused with the authors’ acute powers of observation and his accumulated understanding of human nature, and the human experience. These are poems about the inner soul of man, his natural surroundings, his struggles with love and identity, sexuality, and relationship. The book includes chapters entitled, ‘Illuminating the Obvious’, ‘Love and Other Illusions’, ‘Faces in the Fog’, ‘Lives and Innuendo’, ‘Sexual Ideations’, ‘Shapes and Shadows’, and ‘Mental Indiscretions’. The poems are a look at, and accounting of, life as it is lived with an honesty of intention, with its social proclivities and confusing ambiguity; life lived, for the most part, out from under the fear of unintended consequences. A book for those given to self-reflection, and for those finally willing to move in that direction.
