TAILORED TO THE STARS

About the Book

While much has been said about stars, this book of poetry considers those beaming on a garden through a moon-lit night to be the ultimate harbor, where solutions to ubiquitous problems encountered during the day may be sorted out. Appreciating the beauty of a quiet star-lit night may also hatch questions about and clues to solutions to everyday nagging enigmas, sources of agony, temptations and jubilation over overcome predicaments and sudden dead-ends. Rays from the sun, from street lights, from the moon, from stars, and, above all from the mind tend to connect in symbioses that hatch genuine expression combined with an effusion of feelings to project commonplace patterns and themes that harness various facets of life. Stars in their generic sense, as interpreted herein, have given rise to the title of a book covering life and death, war and peace, love, anger, the ugly and the beautiful, etc., the significance of life as characterized by not only by joy, but also issues we have to deal with, drawing inspiration from various symbolic sources of hope, including the stars.
