This book of poetry gives voice to persons whose voices have not been heard, voices of persons who have remained prominent in my memory. Many of the poems express thoughts that I imagined these persons would have you hear if only you would listen. Some of the poems offer a different perspective on some common subjects. Some of the poems actually intersect aspects of some highly valued experiences in my life. Others capture critical observations of human nature. All of the poems aim to express select thoughts so well that the words used will resonate with the future expression you give to the same thoughts.
