About the Book
Influenced by Robert Frost, the author of this book of nature, nostalgia, and song poems presents a collection of 62 poems, plus 20 libretto excerpts from five oratorios.

The section on Love includes nostalgic and narrative poems, and others based on the stories told to the author by friends.
The section on Song includes poems regarding composers, a child drummer, psalms and excerpts from the librettos.
