Inhaltsangabe

The poems in this book represent a lifetime's struggle to recognize and come to terms both with the world around, and what is going on in the mind at moments of personal consequence. They also reflect an awareness of the work of writers from the past which, in some cases, may have influenced what appears in this book. There is no attempt to find solutions, but merely to register and search for words which try to present, in accessible language, what the author is feeling.
