Synopsis
Award-winning video producer and science publisher, Jeff Volk, turns his gaze inward in this poignant and penetrating poetic storybook, exploring the dynamics of a seemingly intractable relationship. The poems are intensely personal, ranging from playful to painful, yet the themes explored pertain to all who dare to live life fully, to feel deeply, and to dive fearlessly into that mysterious milieu of love, longing, and the promise of transcendence.

About the Author
Jeff Volk; Poet, Producer and Publisher For the past 25 years, Jeff Volk has been popularizing the science of Cymatics, which demonstrates, through simple physics experiments, how inert matter can be animated into life-like flowing forms, by the unseen forces of vibration. The implications of these experiments are vast, and have inspired profound insights into the hidden realms of nature, in many who have seen them.These insights pertain not only to our world at large, but also in deeply personal ways to the subtle realms of human nature, which are often just as mysterious.As a producer, his 1993 documentary, Of Sound Mind and Body: Music and Vibrational Healing, won the Hartley Film Award through the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and its phenomenal success inspired him to produce The International Sound Colloquium, the premier conference exploring the power of sacred sound and healing music, throughout the 1990s. He has distilled this wealth of experience into multimedia presentations and a variety of feature articles, which have been published worldwide. His company, MACROmedia Publishing, focuses on books and electronic media, which inspire and enlighten the discerning spiritual seeker.Jeff s penetrating poetry springs from pondering how these universal principles of cause and effect that are demonstrated objectively in the realms of physics by Cymatics, play out subjectively, in our personal lives. His work spans a wide range of topics, but always seeks to offer a wider perspective and an inclusiveness that integrates the disparate…in ways that only poetry can. The Ambiguity of Autumn: Poems of Love, Longing and Transcendence, is his first book of poetry.Further information may be found at www.cymaticsource.com
From the Inside Flap
I love this book! I read it several times, cover to cover, savoring its richness and the poet s electrifying use of language. As the title suggests, The Ambiguity of Autumn, abounds with contrasting images, casting a pall of suspense around a love story sketched out with wit and erudition. This collection plays off the subtlety of the title. At first, we are unsure whether the poet is addressing a person, or offering a Keatsian ode to the season of uncertainty and the vivid illustrations further draw us into the mystery. In time, the message becomes unmistakable and irresistible. Hugh Harter, Ph.D., author, The Countess, Flying With Nightingales and Tangier and All That.Autumn offers two love stories, the love of a man for a woman and the love of a poet for language. Jeff Volk is infatuated with words. Read one of these poems aloud, relishing the resonance, rolling the syllables around on your tongue like candy beach pebbles, you a present-day Demosthenes, declaiming against the roar of the surf. Pat Parnell, author of Snake Woman and Other Explorations, Finding the Female in Divinity and Talking with Birches, Poems of Family and Everyday Life.The Ambiguity of Autumn poignantly reveals many of the challenges of romantic love. In between, through and around the words, pulsates this raw commitment to exploring love beyond boundaries. Victoria Friedman, Co-Founder of Vistar Foundation, dedicated to the power of Collective Consciousness in communication and relationships.
