The fifty-three poems in this book are chosen by a democracy of solitude and love, loss and nostalgia. There is a poem for the frozen city in your heart. One for the easy prairies. And one for the lands where gypsies roll in dust. A poem for the tales of their lonely afternoons you hear. A poem for the enigmas of love you bear. A poem for our living experience that is a labyrinth of illusions thrown around us. And a poem for life that makes itself known to those listening patiently to the summer earth that whistles under the rain.
