A Few Degrees South of Everywhere: a Poetic Journey in the Clouds

This collection of poetry was begun after the author met a spiritual guidein the dream state. The guide began to help him find a direction in his artisticlife, focus on it, and pursue it."When I was young, I was so excited by the arts that I could never quitesettle down and concentrate on one discipline. Even now, I do graphic workin acrylics and digital compositions on the computer. But the writings, bothprose and poetry, have evoked the best response in the most people. Theyhave taken first place in my creative priorities. After getting a guide, I began writing articles for a local metaphysical newsletter about my adventurers in higher consciousness. From the beginning most of my work was published locally. Later, when my best friend died, I began spontaneously writing poetry and havecontinued for the last ten years. My spiritual guide continues to inspire and urge me to be creative on thisamazing path called life."
