23, 18: 55 Poems, 14 Photographs

By Ray Whitaker

Ray Whitaker blends the poetic genius with words and his creativity as a photographer in this, his second book. The power of a great poet is the ability to open a different window on the universe for each reader. Within these pages there is a delightful diversity of images ranging from profound questions on creativity, in "Where Did It All Go?" --to some lighter pieces such as "Rudolph's Stall" and the downside of elfdom. "Little Boys Turning Over Rocks" and the perfect counterpoint in "Old Man At Dusk" provide awesome poems on Life. Many of the poems within these covers explore relationships with each other, and ourselves. Some of the most sensitive images are found in the lines about dogs Others are truly inspirational and thought provoking. There are delightful vignettes of Life and living; a few are personal reflections shared, others could well be scenes from, you the reader's, life story. Together these images Ray has shared could be considered road signs on the individual journey each of us is traveling. --Hank Bruce 23, 18: Black and White
