The Veil, and Other Poems

A vivid tapestry of voice and vision, this collection gathers more than thirty poems that wander from the quiet stillness of a twilight pond to the restless chatter of an inner “imp.” The opening pieces—such as the wake‑up call of “The Imp Within” and the solitary reverie of “The Old Angler”—show a poet who balances sharp wit with a tender eye for the everyday, turning ordinary moments into miniature dramas.

The verses drift through gardens, forests, and dream‑filled corridors, touching on mythic figures, fleeting emotions, and the subtle ache of memory. Several poems were originally paired with delicate drawings, adding a visual layer that deepens their resonance. Whether exploring the hush of a moth’s wing, the mystery of a veil, or the restless pulse of an unspoken yearning, the collection invites listeners to linger in each line and discover the quiet marvels that lie just beneath the surface.
