The poems in this book span a twenty five year period in the poets life, there is a song of lonliness in some , a story of heartbreak in others and a few have the taste of those sour moments when life is turned upside down because things were not what they seemed and their ugly new faces make us want to cry, but not all is morose and drab, there are a few about those moments of ecstasy, when a man wants to shout from the roof tops about his conquests. But it is the easy readability and a sense of purpose that make these poems stand out , as if the feelings mentioned here were universal , as if the rythum of words can make a song spring up from the barren deserts of a heartless soul.
