Vindauga: The Secret Window (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736084243)

Vindauga: The Secret Window received the most distinguished honor of having Kent State University and the University of Oregon select it for Special Collections and Archives. His autobiographical novel Shadow to Light was also chosen. Vindauga, Nordic for window, is a metaphor for the poet's rarefied state of mind attempting to answer perplexing esoteric questions. In the poem Mirror, he questions what is real, or what is the difference between truth and illusion. In such poems as The Poet, Prisoner of the Soul he examines what it means to be a poet. In such poems as Cloistered Brides, Second Coming and Fossils Don't Lie he questions the difference between the sacred and the profane. In Vortex of Love, Lover's Lamentation, or I Will Sleep in Your Soul he explores the nature of love. Death and immortality are questioned in The Deepest Sleep, The Party, and Locus Amoenus. Why is evil ordained he asks in I Came with Auschwitz and The Towers. He confesses to his visions and hallucinations in Eye of the Kundalini and Peyote Vision. He defines his theory Spirit of Blood - our inclination for violence. In The Epistle and When the Lights Go Out, he ruminates on the end of time. Let those who are fearless peer through this secret window.
