About the Book
This collection of poems written over the course of a long lifetime address basic themes of love and loss, the mysteries of travel and exotic geography, and commentary on the ways of the world. If there is one focus that unites these poems it is upon the relentless quest for spiritual understanding, requited love, and beauty, whether created or natural. This quest has precedence over all that is mundane.
