Aprašymas

Many of these poems were inspired by observations and experiences while living in the New York area. "Out of the Dark" describes the feelings of awakening on a NYC workday and traveling on the NYC subway to the job. "The Towers" expresses inner feelings and thoughts about the 911 tragedy, 14 years after having been in NYC, near the disaster. Included in this volume is a group of 12 poems, written over a period of 11 years, which speak of stages in a long-lived life, titled "The 12 Seasons of Life". Each poem presents a snapshot of experiences within a phase of life, starting from infancy and concluding with existence for people lasting into their nineties. "Two" speaks about the varying intensity of close relationships. "Changes" presents a mini-drama of ancient migration by sea to warm, tropics. Other poems were written on several visits to Southeast Asia. "Trips" is a poem that deals with traveling from the other side of the world to exotic Bangkok, with its vibrant present and historic culture.
