1Each and every life is filled with poetry, even when its verses are never articulated. The perfect smile aimed at you with love, the feeling of inexplicable solitude in a crowded room, the perfect calm you sometimes feel before opening your eyes in the morning ...

The Gate and Other Poems on a Life's Journey takes these emotions-these moments in time-and captures them forever in black and white, where they can be shared with others who have never found the words.

Accompanied by artistic photography, this poetry collection will take you on the journey of the author's life, from his early years through his professional life, his courtship, marriage, loss, and an uncertain a future, living with Parkinson's Disease.

Vulnerable, humorous at times, and thought-provoking throughout, The Gate and Other Poems on a Life's Journey is a trip very much worth taking.
