This inspirational collection of verse was written rapidly during the poet’s stay in the Algarve, Portugal. It is a fine example of automatic writing and how the technique can enrich a sense of place and communion with nature. Rhythms, epitomes, archetypes, and credos imbue the poems with piety and universality.
In many senses, it is a sequence of short letters or postcards to be sent home and cherished upon your return. They are a gift to the self and a wondrous and powerful testament to what exists within and without the genius loci.
