Publisher's Synopsis
These poems were almost all written for emotional reasons and are all to some extent "confessional". Most poems are. But truth is only a starting point, the finished poem describing an experience, not an event. Some of these poems were written in other eras, when life seemed simpler. I have tried to resist the urge to change them, not always successfully. But, as Peter Dale has expressed it "Hindsight brings just another kind of partial judgement".
