About This Book:

Forget atoms and molecules. In the simplest terms, an element is part of something essential: Water, Air, Fire, Earth. And then there is Poetry, the fifth element: essential for human eyes to read, human ears to hear, and human hearts and souls to feel.

So, please, enjoy reading my poems that address aspects of the first four elements and how each can be viewed within poetry’s arc.
