Behold the poetry of S.R. Osborn at full voice in this landmark fourth collection of 238 new poems, featuring two in-depth interpretations. Find perfected the author's trademark style of deconstructing the many facets of a moment of Beauty, revealing the sole unifying Essence. Revel in this rare experience of mind, heart, and soul. '....Hidden remains the day, and all things of day's light-hence a flower in the night-she who misses, or is mist. The fog of vision in the lover's eye, makes aimed-for things a parallaxed sting, and Cupid arrows loathe wiz by, unconnected to the resurrected singer of song high! or skyey declaration to tune; proclamation of divine ministrations, pulpitted from within sweet morality of a willingness to be. But what of cast adrift? of target having missed? Solo advanc鐡 storm, for the stars, the moon, the sun? or mixed dance beneath the Hierophant? Blessed-then Roman comedy of romance, portrayal of a part in cosmic order, for variations of a theme, and entertainment for a nation's lovers. Shall a happy lovely be? or pending grimace to posterity? Rigors of a mortise pulled free of its tenon.' -excerpt from the poem Classical
