Product Description
The delightful poems of this current volume are, for the most part, lyric in character. There are imaginative love poems, such as “The Cosmic Courtship” and “Where Are You, My Love?” Several reveal the author’s love of nature, such as “Blessed Is the Gentle Spirit.” “I Walked in Paradise Today” is typical of his lighter poems of a religious nature. A few draw on imagery from mathematics (“Loneliness”), others treat historical topics (“The Lombards”) or legends (“The Death of Quetzalcoatl”). To complete the picture, the author treats us to some personal reminiscences (“The Queen of the Spring”) and a few humorous poems.The salient feature of Mr. Zimmermann’s poems is music. They are very harmonious in nature; it would not be an exaggeration to say that they sing. Each poem is a highly unified entity, with the thought clearly expressed with pleasing imagery.
