This book is the collective works of 25 years of poetry writing all in three volumes and involving personal introspection and poetic exploration. This offers a unique opportunity for the reader to watch the writing styles change and develop according to the seasons of the authors life. In particular, to compare volume III (which was written within 50 days) to volumes I & II (which were written over 25 years) is fascinating. This is not the typical book of poetry you've read before and is definitely worth a look.
