In this small book, I try to encompass different moods and experiences. I focus on the things that excite me, and, also, on the things that give me pause and cause me to wonder about my world. The themes in the series on experience, are based on the human condition: in poems like "Homeless in Herald Square," and "The Acts of Humankind," and inner reflection: in poems like "Escape," and "Death." The themes in the series based on communication, include everyday news that is distributed through news media outlets: in poems like "The News," and human interaction: in poems like "The Silent Customer." The themes on love and nature are based on personal encounters, in poems like, "I Still Don't Know Her Name," and a love of nature, in poems like "These Trees."
