The second volume in the two-volume series of early poems covering between 1970 - 1980. Early poems by the author, Dean Baker. The ability to transcend the weight of the world through the appreciation of limitations transformed through perception is most evident in these poems. Inspirational shorter poems of immediacy and lasting insights. These are not the poems of our grandfathers or grandmothers, not even of the nearest generation.These poems are evidence of the future, boundaries necessarily transcended in order to become more than the trappings of contemporary physicality moving the individual beyond their own native dimensions to a world of self-evident grace residing within as the originating point for every understanding and knowledge of the means to alter our worlds.Poetry is the song and the expression of our sorrow and joys, minute and finite, that allow that greater feeling and comprehension of what it is we can hope to achieve and experience without turning aside, resorting to or giving in to mechanisms used to make our way through passages in the world.http: //deanbakerpoetryandsongs.co
