The poems in A Toad in a Glass Jar illustrate the intersection between the wonder of nature and the horrors of war. Stan Lake writes about the dissonance of being torn between two worlds. In another era, he'd have been an explorer hacking his way through terra incognita. This collection of poetry is an attempt to make a trail through a perilous world and find meaning off the beaten path. With the eye of a scientist and heart of an artist, he guides the reader on a journey through chaos to some form of resolution. These poems lay bare the human experience like a raw nerve, challenging the reader not to look away.
