Publisher's Synopsis
Discover the extraordinary life and poetic journey of Lawrence Klein in this captivating collection that defies convention and celebrates the power of words to transcend boundaries. From his unconventional path as a skier, entrepreneur, and family man to his profound exploration of the world through poetry, Klein's relentless poetic bent shines through in every verse.
Klein's poetic journey began during a transformative period- a year spent in a Dutch penitentiary for marijuana possession. It was there that his first poems came to him as if by divine providence- whole, complete expressions of his deepest thoughts and emotions. Poetry became his love language- a means of expressing care for loved ones, grappling with current events, and finding joy in life's smallest wonders.
"Synchronicity" is a central theme in Klein's work- a concept that underscores the interconnectedness of seemingly random events. From chance encounters at a psychiatric meeting to dinner conversations with renowned poets, Klein's life is a testament to the power of serendipity and the unexpected twists and turns that shape our destinies.
