A Cluster of Lights (Cosmic Connections)

What pleasure just to bask in ancient tree-light Puck-likepropped against a trunk beneath the boughs that sway this forest family.....What can be said about a poem better than reading it? This collection of about fifty lights is drawn from material written between 1962 and 1988 but mostly during the period 1965-75 (the authors twenties). It celebrates natures beauty romance music sex mystic love and even the sad demise of steam engines!As regards philosophical element an analyst might discern a thread running between A Cluster of Lights and the authors works like Adam and Evolution and latterly Science and the Soul. If true such thread constitutes an embryonic unwitting precursor because Cluster is clearly not scientific. Instead its rationale embodies a literary compression whose spring of words may equally powerfully propel the reader into flights of understanding universal principle and quickening imagination.
