This eclectic collection of poems ranges from the romantic (The Affair) to the frightening (The Storm) and is not without social commentary (Strings Attached). Intensely-descriptive language and evocative imagery transport the reader to faraway lands. Reminiscent of Arthur Rimbaud's technique, a colorful palette is used to create vibrant scenes which delight the mind's eye. Nature is a dominate theme throughout, with a focus on the seasons. In fact, All the World Was Still was composed on a ski lift in the dead of winter. Finally, for those with a scientific inclination, Astrophysics: The Journey and Non Sequitur: Seven Vignettes, with their references to astronomy and physics, do not disappoint.
