Electric Winds

By Daniel Lake

There is a new breeze that’s blowing across oceans and continents, bringing what was once local to new points near and far. It doesn't follow the usual patterns of the jet streams, but goes much faster, using speed of light technologies like wires, broadcasts and even fiber optics. Communities of like-minded people from every location on Earth are springing up and becoming viable social groups. This is one of them. Electric Winds is a collection of poetry from a group of friends from all over the world who have met online because of their love of poetry. It is the kind of book that has never before been available, worldwide viewpoints of artists all shared in a single venue.

Dedication

Dedicated to my wonderful wife Lulu, who without her unswerving support this book perhaps would never have been written and my wonderful son Sean, who has never doubted his father’s ability.
