Excerpt from Fireside Lays
The first weak efforts of the untutored Muse; N o lofty strains will claim your wondering praise, N o brilliant wit your lighter hours amuse.
Nor fervid word-pictures of foreign lands, Where treasures of the burning Orient glow; Where limpid streams glide over golden sands, And tropic fruits and gorgeous blossoms grow.
Not where the ivy garlands' sculptured walls, The mouldering trophies of an age gone by; Where wild beasts have their lair in marble halls.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a literary tour de force, an anthology of thought-provoking poems, pioneering a synthesis between refined poetic form and the everyday. The author's evocative language and intensely personal yet relatable lyrics examine themes of religion, nature, and human experience, echoing the cadence and language of traditional balladry while offering a fresh and timely perspective. Beyond the biographical insights it provides into the author's life, this book is a profound meditation on the shared human experience of love, loss, and the place of the individual within the sweeping march of human history.
