"A book of poems covering poetry, self, choices, philosophy, nature, love, politics, religion, romance, time, aging, and death. Book Review Duane Vorhees uses moments from history and his story as a successful analogy for the state of humanity in general, with particular attention to the progression of feelings through time. Many of the poems in this collection feel pleasantly cryptic at first reading, but they often reveal themselves upon revisiting, moving from simplifications into specifics that justify the poet's generalities. There is a great reverence for sound in these poems, too, which make good but sparse use of rhyme and assonance. Some of the poems are funny too. There is a strong theme of spiritual and political protest running down the stream of the collection, and it's extremely refreshing to see the poet seamlessly transition from voice to voice. -Dominic Francis, author of "God's Pretty Game of Grotesque Puppets" Duane Vorhees's poems tiptoe on classical notes in a sense that they crave for and aim at the bygone era when he actually experienced the emotions.
