Multi-award-winning poet, artist, and historian WD Frank gathers a selection of previously published work into one volume with the addition of ten new poems inspired by a deep dive into the literature of ancient Greece and Rome. Enhancing the poems are samples of Frank's paintings in watercolor, acrylic, and oil, several of which were created especially for this collection.

WD Frank's poems are not bound by time. They take you to liminal spaces, through spirals of seasons, from Europe to Seattle to the shrub-steppe to the afterlife. Frank sweeps centuries, brings us ancient voices, myth, war-and wildflowers, nighthawks, and symphonies. A buttermilk moon. Wherever he takes you, Frank's words breathe and shimmer on the page.-Keely Murphy Pickerel, award-winning poet, author of This Steady Place
The luminous poems in Inventions and Variations remind us of the fragility of things, asking us to reflect on what we've loved, what we've lost, and where we might find solace. You will be moved by the scale, beauty, weave and musings of WD Frank's poems. The way he dances here with words, time, and ideas is transporting.
-Terry Martin, award-winning poet, author of The Light You Find
