In this book, modest in length yet rich in substance,
the poet plays upon a wide range of strings of the soul,
touching varied emotional points. Some are joyful, some less so,
and others are steeped in thought and quiet questioning.
The poet traces lines through different states of life,
drawing the reader into recognition and identification
with personal experiences and life's passages.
Alongside this, the poems offer the reader counsel,
born of a lived journey and distilled from life's insights.
This is an immersive and quietly compelling book.
Within it lies a broad spectrum of themes
drawn from many realms of life,
so that each reader may find something that speaks
to their own experiences and inner dilemmas.
For reasons known only to himself,
the poet chose to conceal his name,
but not his presence.
He signs simply as: The Hidden One.
