Synopsis

The six books in this series are (in order): Journal of Time, Portals and Passages, The Book of the Lost and Found or Chasing Rainbows, Moods of War, The Source, and Another Day. Book Two, Portals and Passages, represents the author’s exploration of his inner self relative to the seen and unseen worlds. You might say this series of poems is like a place between heaven and earth and between the body and the spirit. Dreams play an important role in this writing, as well as the voices heard in the dreams, and as such are catalysts for its energy and mystery. In some ways this book is the author’s accounting of the “secret life” we all live through the discovery of his most private thoughts, observations, and beliefs, and seeks to come to terms with the confluence of that world and the “normal” external world. Should one’s covert life remain that way or should the honesty be shared in words? “As time passes and I become a more experienced traveler, only time will tell,” says Prewit, “and as there are no absolute conclusions, I know there is more change and more unknown ahead.”

About this title

About the Author

Tony Prewit was born in Stamford, Texas in 1954 and then moved with his family at the age of eight to Silver City, New Mexico. He has earned both bachelor’s and master’s of arts degrees and has traveled extensively throughout the United States as a musician. Besides his interest in poetry, the author has written, directed, and performed in several plays and as a mime actor. In addition, he is an artist who delves in photography, charcoals, pastels, and watercolors. Art is his private therapy. For over thirty-five years the author kept a jounal of poetry that chronicled his most secret, inner struggles with his belief in God. During that time he lived what seemed to be a fairly normal life—traveling, going to school, marrying, and owning a retail furniture company. This journal, however, does not chronicle his “normal” life, but his struggles with belief. He believes many people have these same kinds of inner challenges with life, and this journal brings to the forefront the reality of these challenges. Since 1978 he has lived with his wife Pat, a classical pianist, in Silver City, New Mexico, the place he considers home for its culture, land, seasons, and people.
