Description

"A Scent of Lilac" is a collection of poems which makes reading poems once again fun and enjoyable. The poems cover a wide range of subject matter and emotional exploration. Any successful poem lifts into flight upon wings of music and magic. A poem¿s music sings from the poet¿s skillful use of craft. A poem¿s magic swirls from the poet¿s skillful use of imagination. So much twentieth century poetic experimentation drives Walt Whitman¿s elegant beginnings into the dark, blind alleys of private, prosaic expression. Significant exceptions exist: most notably, W. B. Yeats, Robert Frost, and W. H. Auden, and we must remember that Emily Dickinson was essentially ¿discovered¿ during the twentieth century. Poetry should be shared with your friends and neighbors. However, most contemporary poetic attempts reach no general audience and leave the life of poetry hanging by a very thin thread indeed. Anyone who denies the declining number of poetry readers during the late twentieth century lives on some other planet. Real poetry should at least attempt to communicate with ordinary human beings, those readers and listeners whom you might meet while shopping in your local supermarket, or while having coffee at your local cafe. These poems attempt to do just that: to communicate and to share experiences with people I know, and love, and respect, without condescension or apology. These are poems in which you can find delight, poems which you may find yourself rereading now and then, perhaps even sharing them with someone else.
