A book of poetry is like a selection of music on a CD, or pictures hanging on a wall in art gallery. It tells of things the writer has seen, understood or experienced. He is trying to share his discovery or inspiration. The hope is that the reader will enjoy what they read. At the same time, they may gain new thoughts and insights, which will stimulate or encourage them. Eventually, it may lead to new breadths of vision concerning the great themes of life, like reality, relationships and especially God our Creator and Father.
