Every so often a review comes along with captures what a writer has tried to convey. This week I received one. With a poetry book like "Places and Times", I hope that people who have traveled can relate to it, or that people who have not traveled can do so through my poems.
Connie Jordan, a poet and writer herself, says some nice things:
Travel from the shores of California, to Pennsylvania and New Mexico - Beautifully written!! Descriptions of places in Europe expressed in ways that will make you feel you are visiting.
"Places and Times" is full of reflections of shared good times standing in places once visited in long ago eras and leaving travels tucked away safely in the recessions of an active mind that enjoys the memories looking back as in “My Two Paths”
“Time now to rest under spreading branches of pleasant trees and enjoy where I have been”
Thoughts and remembrances of long ago times, some of lost friends, classroom experiences, sights and sounds of nature lingering in the mind long after visitations. Memories coming in flash encounters of everyday task like pumping gas while being open to the people that he passes.
The entire book takes you on a journey ending in the reality of today.The author describes it all in verses that pull you inside his memories and you enjoy the view.
