Memories in Serenade" captures the psychic musing of a purpose-driven poet intent on embracing the world, against a backdrop of unyielding obstacles, woven into a tapestry of pain, sorrow, hope, joy and love. It also captures the poet's fascination with language as much as with life, and takes us on his journey which so often juxtaposes fantasy with reality as if second nature. This collection allows us to accompany the the poet as he takes small steps, though significant steps, along the road to understanding and responding in healthy ways to life's vicissitudes and attaining self-actualization.
