Miscellany Heartstrings - Poetry Collection - Paperback

by G. Daniel Brockner (Author)

Miscellany Heartstrings is a collection of poetry that was twenty years in the making.

Although some of these poems were written according to rules of traditional construction, many are not, and to me, these are the poems that make writing stimulating.

A poem written from the catacombs of a young boy's memory as he watched an uncle's day to day work in a funeral home or when years later spied a heron's flight over cypress tops to fish the murky waters in a Louisiana swamp, make for good poetry fodder.

Some poems come from a place with no earthly explanation, such as the poems, In the Name of Hinterland and Sunset on the Marmara.

But it's the bottled-up poems I love to write. The poems that have to be written. Poems that come from the heart when someone or something pulls at a heartstring.
