Remembering Yesterdays Imagining Tomorrows: Poetry Collection

Prolific artist and poet Burt E. Pringle presents his sixth volume of poetry—a volume that reveals his real and imaginary past, present, and future. Some selections are direct, personal, or reflective of the times and narrate the human condition in several voices, such as an observer, a lover, and the forlorn by exploring fantasies and making social comments.

Meant to entertain, enlighten, inform, and heal, many of the works in this collection evoke vivid imagery, as in “Dimming Fire.” The dimming of the fire, / the dwindling of the flame, / the smoke ribbon’s curl / — ceases to ascend, / and love is lost / among the ashes. /

Remembering Yesterdays Imagining Tomorrows expresses Pringle’s thoughts on love, desires, anticipation, loss, and departing with hope for the unseen tomorrow. It’s a collection from a man who values the gift of love late in life and who experiences peace of mind.
