I Have Bet Everything - My Life My Life - On This Drifting Blue This One-Note Sound Of Burning-Silver Flute That Calls Along Nerve Passageways Calls Through My Atoms Like Birds Of A Kind Shifting Poised In A Sky Of Tears Calculations Laughter Remembered Days.

His Work Ranges From Tender Spirituality To Embracing Plants Soil And Stone. In Spite Of Occasional 'Turquoise Confusions ' He Is Willing To Risk All To Explain The Inexplicable. Exploring The Musical Voice Of This Poet Brings Unexpected Rewards. * Allegra Jostad Silberstein Grew Up On A Wisconsin Farm And Then Moved To California In 1963.
