Collage

"George Whipple's new poems dance and move upon the waters of the mind, even as they celebrate the mystery and flow of life. Collage, Whipple's 14th book, muses on mortality, beauty, childhood, growing up and the continuity of life, delighting in each moment and each breath we take as the poems move from the world of innocence to the world of experience. Whipple is a deep and contemplative poet whose poetry radiates with a sombre delight. The poems are deceptively simple, presenting complex thought in well-crafted and gem-like lyrics where memory and the present fuse in a deep texture of love, praise, a sense of well-being and prayer. In Collage, George Whipple's poetry sparkles with radiant joy and life-affirming wisdom." -- back cover.
