"My poetry, like my art," the author says, "comes from the heart. Most of the poems are written during my walks. Although not a scientific person, I try to be a keen observer of the scene around me. As readers of these poems will notice, I have a particular fondness for rocks, the moon and other natural phenomena which we still allow to intrude on our technological world."
