Gypsy Muse - Hardcover

by Norman Bruce Ayers (Author), Andrea Ayers-Esplen (Illustrator), Stella Esplen (Illustrator)

We all create false mountains to climb. Gypsy Muse is a collection of free verse poetry chronicling that journey, and how we move beyond.

Its subject matter strolls the depth and breadth of life: reinvention of the self later in life, the majesty and wonder of the natural world, and the inner landscape of the soul. It will appeal to readers who want to broaden their horizons and learn to see the world from a new perspective, as well as those who simply want to glorify in the beauty of language.

Gypsy Muse is a collection of questions, not answers. Thoughts spanning sixty years of the author's life are inspired by his own experiences. He has travelled across the provinces, territories, and states in North America, plus Mexico, Great Britain, and western Europe. For Ayers, poetry is a puzzle where hidden meanings abound. It exercises the intellect to pursue in thought where a poem may lead.
