These forty-four new poems by Eric Greinke evoke and illuminate the metaphors and symbols of out lives through portraits, observed moments and personal memories. These peoms rely on descriptive imagery and an expansive persona often expressed in third person to stimulate the reader's associative imagination. Each peom explores our relationship with time and the monuments we leave behind. At the age of seventy, Eric Greinke continues to expand his range, tonal repertoire and petic vision, inviting his readers to join in the creative process in recognition of common myths and experiences.
