Sunlight, Shadows and Echoes: Later Collected Poems 2016-2018 - Paperback

by David a. Folds (Author)

This new collection of three years of poetry follows "Sights, Sounds and Spirit", published in 2016 and a publication of much older poems in 2017, "Emotions, Images and Spirit".

The new work, "Sunlight, Shadows and Echoes", has poems of introspection like: "River of Time", "The Light That Owns Us", "Time and Motion", "Wind in the Trees", "The Speed of Life", "Earthly Struggles", "Paintings in Time", "Realm of the Wind" and "Blue".

Also, there are poems about family: "Jazz Piano", "David at 2 1/2", "Mothers", "Early in Connecticut", "From Mom and Dad", "The Kiss", and the longer "Tales of My Father".

There are poems inspired by locations both local and abroad: "Jersey Morning", "The Balconies", "Dusk" and "Toledo - Old and New".

There is a longer poem that looks back to a scene from life over 50 years ago: "An Odyssey - 1965".

Two poems look at our current sociopolitical world: "Worries and Wishes" and "Slaughterhouses of America".

Another two poems deal with spiritual themes: "True Freedom" and "Questions".
