Consorting the Muse in Her Upstairs Office

By Ralph Bowers

Herein enclosed are poems spanning themes of spirituality, mythology, psychology, philosophy, romance, tongue and cheek, and love lost. Some of the poems are written after the fashion of King James' old English, while others are in more modern English vernacular. There is an ability to connect to the poems, identify with their contents, engendering an empathy for the writer and a catharsis for the reader. The poems are a sizeable sample of the poets work, of which there is more, for a later time, As with wine, or chocolate, sip and nibble at your leisure.
