Inhalt:

This collection is the third book in a series and contains sixty poems by Gordon Alexander. As in the previous two poetry collections, the writer continues with his approach using astute perceptions expressed with artful rhyming. Each poem is titled with a single word and does not intend to lure the reader into any special meaning. Instead, the poems are straight forward reflecting a personal awareness, exploration, and expressions of truth or experience. Clear and concise, the words mean exactly what they say as the author creatively plays with the rhythmic consonants and musical tones of vowels that embellish the topic. The author's inspiration comes from personal observations witnessed from afar or in conversation with people known and unknown. The topics are broad in nature; some humorous, some poignant and philosophical. One of the strengths of the poet's writing is the universality of content that makes them accessible, entertaining, and almost educational at times. This poetry collection does not require any chronological order to read and enjoy the poems, making it suitable for short or long poetic reflections that give all readers freedom and flexibility. To date, Gordon Alexander has written and published over 200 poems and has joined the ranks of American poets from the country's midwestern region. His style is reminiscent of Ogden Nash's word play in poetry complemented with strains of older Scottish poet Gerald Manley Hopkins who used the rhythm of ordinary speech. In the end, reading these poems will heighten everyone's appreciation of the power of words, as well as encourage more personal presence in life that transforms even the most ordinary moment into a revelation.
