Striking imagery and deep philosophical reflection are hallmarks of the poetry of Thomas G. Morry. This selection from the years 1990 to 1996 is but a small fraction of the poems he crafted over the course of a lifetime, a life sadly cut short by cancer in 1998. In these pages you see the work of a mature poet who created a unique and vivid poetic language to contemplate such universal themes as man and the cosmos, fate, and mortality. His interests included Classics, Nature, the works of certain Catholic philosophers, and Zen Buddhism. The Zen influence is especially evident in his favourite poetic form, the haiku.
