Equal Parts is a rare volume of poetry, one in which the reader is both observer and participant. Two voices often come through the poems. At times raw and unrelenting, often curious and questioning, the sound and sense of these poems linger long after reading. Here, a meeting place emerges, a canyon illuminated by "a daylight moon, " a place where heaven and earth are intertwined and a deep exploration of the human psyche unfolds. Hauntingly beautiful, the landscape of a man's life emerges, and with it, another voice, a shadow self, a twin soul who is both known and unknown, steps into the light, offering wisdom and gratitude for all that is. This book is for any spiritual seeker, any survivor of trauma, loss, and grief. The poems honor the path each of us undertake, "a cobbled path of heart and stone, " and ask, "What will you find when you seek the wisdom of your name?" Expect a journey that is "the wayfare of the heart" with a destination that leads to self-awareness, and recognition that "you will be the one you're seeking, you will be the one you've travelled for." Equal parts prayer, supplication, defiance, declaration, confession, rage, obsession, grief, loss, love, curiosity, acceptance and ultimately, surrender, this collection of poems is mysterious, transcendent and deeply affecting. With the closing stanza, "the sum of the heart is equal parts, " the title poem affirms life's supreme opportunity to know and reside in love.
