Within the pages of this collection, James Rodriguez presents, for the first time, love for such topics in its various themes. As an artist, Rodriguez records his interest in visual form, so that he can relate to the viewers of his art through these aspects of life, as he sees it in through his eyes. Such poems as "The Old Church Bell" and "The Withering Rose" are of tranquility and melancholy. Poems such as "The Forest Called Astray" are of fear and "The Midnight Maiden" is of nature. It is Rodriguez's hope and desire that readers will understand the emotions that he attempted to convey from these poems, and that they will enjoy reading these selections as much as he enjoyed writing them.
