The Treasure of Forgotten Island

The Treasure of Forgotten Island is a journey of experience and art. Explore dreams and nightmares, the emotions of love, romance and broken promises. Adventure through imaginary worlds, illusions, mystery and reality. Included between the covers are a selection of the best poems from previous chapbook collections, enhanced by the vivid expressionist paintings of the poet, author and artist. Poetry is a way of life. Poetry should be honest and succinct, without airs. Poetry is forever a celebration of the intricacies and diversity of human emotion. To achieve the goal of poetry as a universal language for humanity, through the ages, poetry should be comprehendible and accessible for anyone. Poetry must weave multiple levels of meaning, skillfully touching the far edges of spirituality and mysticism. It is these lofty goals I have set for myself, always. I invite you to search for the treasure. Visit the forgotten islands of your own memories and experiences. It is my hope, in this quest, you will find a glimmer of inspiration and light in your own life. To give is to receive. Poetry is the language of love.
