The Moon Tides of Brewster

You think the moon drives the tides? The title poem of this collection corrects that error. It's the other way around. Our beginnings are detailed in the poetical but scientifically true 'We are the Dust of Dying Stars.' This book of original, unusual poems is cradled in a beautiful color sunset of Cape Cod Bay. Some have a Cape connection, but many topics are covered like love, war, poems, philosophy & science. Sadness is felt in the poem 'Friendly Fire,' one of the war poems. Ever wake up at three a.m. & ponder at that not-best time? 'Night thoughts' will resonate. In 'What a Poem Is' the essence is formulated...Haunting, hinting./So that beyond the thing,/aren't there, perhaps,/flickers at the edges--/echoes heard over other horizons?/ In 'Self Seen', the poet sees himself, unrecognized, approaching.
