Peruse this eclectic collection of poems written over 50 years ago, and muse along with the author. They are timeless as they explore the range of human emotions during a particular time in his life. Explore the thoughts and feelings from love, beauty of nature, hope, disappointments, dreams, fears, and being trapped in a job. Visualize these words alongside beautiful nature photography which at times adds to the poem. There are lines like this “ B52 is a firefly riding the end of a birch log skimming a sea of milk-blue opalescence’. Or’ savoring the feel of the earthskin beneath my feet.”

Born in November 1937, Milton grew up on a small farm just outside of Erie, PA. He attended Gannon and Edinboro colleges, where he studied English and Philosophy. He married and raised 3 girls while working for many years at AT&T. Later, he left his job to pursue a career as an antique dealer and furniture restoration specialist, which he continues to this day. Milton later married again gaining a step-daughter, and raised a son who is an environmental educator and the nature photographer for this book. Starting in the 1960s, Milton developed a love for writing poetry and hoped to someday publish his works in a book. This dream was to wait another sixty years before finally becoming a reality with this long awaited collection. Milton lives on a small homestead in Saegertown, Pennsylvania and has resided there since 1962. He has developed a strong interest in gardening and preserving nature on the property. Recently he began raising monarch butterflies as a summertime hobby.
