    About this ebook

    'The Rise of the Inner Blossom' is a collection of poems taken from a period of 30 years from 1984 to 2014. It is my first publication and out of respect includes two poems in commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the First World War.
    What is the inner blossom in the context of these poems? It is the rising of a personal inner conscious awareness of the whole universe as an expression of the creative intelligence of the Creator in-breathing life into everything that exists. The Song of the Cosmos, is that vibration that perpetuates everywhere from the world of nature to the stars. We are all interconnected through the living web of the universe. This became the background of my poetic inspiration. Enjoy.

      For The Joy Of Joyce

      Jun 1, 2022

      When I look at my copy of Ulysses, a Vintage paperback published in 1961, the title makes me smile. This is not something that has happened before. But I realize now that the comedy, the joy of the book—its sense of adventure—begins with the title. I

      Writing From The Edge

      May 1, 2019

      One outreaches language in poetry when the inseeing elements of consciousness ask the unseen of life to come forward. My aim has been to unseat what we assume about time, about the verities of love and death, of the consciousness of those other senti

      Diary of Remorse

      Sep 6, 2022

      I was plagued by remorse, but my remorse seemed inspired by insignificant dumb things—things not really worthy of bona fide remorse. That didn’t make it any less painful or plague-worthy, as I was still riddled with disgrace on a minute-by-minute bas
