In the Twilight

<p>This is a collection of poems by the author of the novel Purgatorio.<br />This book of verses harks back to the late Renaissance of Florence and expands<br />into what the poet calls rarefied tracts of toiling and dreaming.<br />Quotes from Online Book Club (www.OnlineBookClub.org) that reviewed my<br />last book Purgatorio. These quotes include:<br />It is a great book and He is a gifted poet.<br />Excerpts from In the Twilight:<br />...but the echo of an echo may be heard in a dreamlike flash of a vigorous<br />transcendent wave.<br />...the moment turns to stone a monument to rapturous illusion.<br />...but the willow branch still blooms and the pond is alive with primeval tunes<br />below the smoke of my untimely dreams.<br />...I feel like singing undaunted by the twilight of my fate.<br /></p>
