Heaven in a Wildflower: Poetry's Intrinsic Power (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798423320683)

"Heaven in a Wildflower" is my 72nd book of poetry and 95th book of various genre. The title is taken from a line of great classical poetry by William Blake as shown on the cover.

There are one (100) classical poems of love and romance, wit and wisdom, humor and comedy, advice and dissent, patriotism and criticism, inspiration, history, mystery and on the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. In fact the invasion caused me to write 20 poems on the subject from an humanitarian and strategic perspective. I steer a neutral course between war concerns from an ideological perspective, since to me the human suffering and the Russian invasion are both wrong moves from my perspective. As you will see, I am an anti-globalist with all that entails, but I do not share the crude motivations that place some on one side and some on the other. They do not matter. Only the effects of the war matter.

Forty-five (36) of my poems have been published by the prestigious Society of Classical Poets of which I am a member. You may read them all by going to their website, clicking on the Member button, clicking on my name in blue and it will take you there. An additional twenty (20) were published under the Ukraine invasion invitation for poetry, five (5) for a St. Patrick's Day invitation and three (3) more are scheduled for publication making a total of sixty-four (64) poems. With this edition, my total poetry count is now 4,610.

Personally, I am an Award-Winning Singer and retired LTC, US Army, Military Intelligence and Russian Foreign Area Officer. I was the first US Foreign Commercial Officer in the Russian Far East and IBM Regional Manager in the same location. As one of the most educated men in America with 200 post-graduate hours and 3 Master's Degrees. I make no apologies for my logic and views on any subject you wish to name unless it is esoteric science.
