We rarely get to choose our own legacy. The author, Jeff Burton, selected this poetry collection to represent what he considers his best work. Edited out are the too-often self-indulgent, self-concerned, self-pitying and pretentious efforts that have littered previous volumes. Missing too is the whimsical and comic which can be found in collections dedicated to those forms.

Instead, this collection is serious poetry, hopefully not tediously serious, but at least with serious themes. Neither is this poetry didactic. You will find no hectoring verse lectures here. At its best, this poetry is suggestive, an invitation to reflection and further exploration. These poems are 'jumping off points', influenced by Sufi tales, Buddhist parables and mysticism. These are poems to be read at leisure on Autumnal afternoons with copious cups of tea or glasses of wine accompanied by much staring at the ceiling.
