Dante's Footsteps: Poems and Reflections on Poetry

By Paul Krause

With a deep understanding of the literary and artistic traditions that have shaped Western culture over the centuries, Paul Krause presents readers with thirty poems and four essays reflecting on those traditions. He understands that it is in poetry that the aspirations, emotions, and dreams of people across generations and societies have been best articulated. Whether one is viewing the night sky, the first glimmer of sunrise, or the morning dew, the natural world presents much to consider. So too, do the ballads that have been told myriad times to instruct and to entertain. In them we find laughter and love, longing and lament.

Krause's essays and reflections remind readers that fuller appreciation and understanding of a poet's words may be achieved when we reflect upon the poet as well as the poet's word. Creativity is a remarkable gift and in these pages are words of wisdom and a light for our path.
