This volume brings together poems that examine the mysteries of the unseen world alongside expressions of love and memories of childhood.

Readers can expect lyrical explorations of hidden truths, the intangible qualities of human experience, and the tender reflectionsCharacteristic of both romantic devotion and the wonder of early years. The phrasing indicates a book that blends spiritual or transcendental elements with intimate personal observations about matters of the heart and the formative experiences of youth. more
