The cover is a beautiful depiction of Scotland’s iconic Helix Kelpies, the world’s largest equine sculptures,  created by artist Andy Scott. He has captivated the imagination as they 'pay homage to the horses that once powered Scotland’s industrial might.' Although I was nearly killed on a horse at a young age, I remain loyal to and love all things related to horses. Several poems in this collection have footnotes at the end of the poem. Hopefully, you will find this helpful. Why the quote? Why not? I love quotes. There are no poems shorter, more concise, and more powerful than simple quotes. And how can you not love one by Mae West? There’s a lot said in those twelve words. Michael Howard is a poet’s poet, finding buried meaning in everyday words and taking the reader through an astounding itinerary of verse. As a former Navy SEAL and world traveler, he weaves images that are breathtaking, from Scotland’s iconic sites to stanzas about bygone relatives that simply cradle the heart. This latest collection is not to be missed!

    Edward V Bonner
