Poems and Stanzas Book IV: Vagaries

This is a sequence of 56 poetic compositions concerned with existential issues, many of which reflecting some of his spiritual ideas and a marked preoccupation with matters of Death and the Afterlife After losing his partner to Alzheimer and advancing age, he went through a period of somber thoughts which he translated into a number of his poems dealing with his feelings of aloneness. Still several of his items reflect a slightly different attitude, namely a tongue-in-cheek perspective of those very same subjects. He considers his pieces as being primarily “free verses”, emphasizing cadence and meter, with less weight accorded to riming.
