Indian Summer My father fell asleep when I was three I fell in love twenty years later I have been a sailor traversing the ocean not walking on water but possessing the power to charm the sea my heart has been touched by a sapphire breeze my lips kissed by a gentle rain held hands with a Peruvian lily born during a January thaw a love that blooms in mid-October she keeps me warm during the winter solstice and I shine like the prodigal sun By Evan Quitelle

About the Book
A romantic compilation of poetry, Indian Summer takes you on a journey of the imaginary discovery of life’s pilgrimage. In this collection of love chronicles, poet Evan Quitelle has included works derived from his life’s journey—growing up without a father, the death of his grandmother, falling in love, and raising his son.
Full of passion, emotion, and spiritual elevations, Quitelle paints a vivid picture with every word as evidenced in the selection “English 317.” / She smelled like apples and sunshine / Her hair was twists of diamonds intertwined with butterflies / She was adorned in garments of purple and lime / Down I slid into the empty seat next to her / Unbeknownst to me I had become her student / I was unaware of the imprints that were being left upon my heart / She was science and I naïve /
Rich, colorful, and filled with the metaphorical style of a gifted poet, Indian Summer takes you on an excursion through Quitelle’s life and helps you to fall in love every step of the way.
