The Temptation of Silence

<p class=ql-align-justify>As the title poem suggests silence may be the best option when the world seems to pay no attention to us. Yet it is important to look to the smallest speck of light in the far reaches of the universe for there lies hope at the size of the infinite. In this fifth collection Poussin offers each poem as just that a beacon into understanding what the meaning of existence on earth may be. Through heartaches disillusion loss humor longing and a great array of emotions he proposes to reconstruct our lives into a grandiose stained-glass to reflect what we are in a world that appears to pay little heed to us. ; </p><p> </p>
