The Quiet Dreamer

By Ken Regan

In his latest poetry collection the author looks, not at the grand visions in life of fame and fortune, but at the simpler dreams of love, faith, what could have been, and what yet may be. The Quiet Dreamer explores the simple pleasures of life like children and grandchildren, pets, nature, the regrets of yesterday and the hopes of tomorrow. In its pages you will find the dreams many keep inside - the quiet dreams we all share.
