About this title

From the Author:

The title is apropos for the collection. Poems from love to war, spirituality to science, and nature to reminiscing are presented. The first section, Love at First Voice, contains poems with the general theme of love and runs the gamut from dark endings to erotica. The next section, Bearer of Prayers, ranges from our origins to musings on the afterlife. It even has a ghost story. The section, Imagine a World, has offerings from astronomy to economics. This is followed by a group in Gisele's Place, extolling nature from a walk on a nature trail to a vista across Canada from sea to sea to sea. Lastly, in the section, Rendezvous with an Ancestor, there are poems ranging from the author's first job to his childhood chores. All are presented for your enjoyment and in that vain I hope I've succeeded.
