We Lesser Gods

About the Book

“--Ah, we cannot know, in reality, until the afternoon, how much the feast has set out for us.”

The book, We Lesser Gods is a record of a difficult compilation of one life, one self - events, sentiments, ideas -- these formed and being accepted or rejected in their come maturity. Ideas are included at many cognitive levels, toward the consensus, said to be a choice, but a forced choice, involving components of only surmisal, balanced by “the forward appendage of thought: hope.”

“...I must admit you have a way with words! I found your poetry interesting, and your descriptions very vivid, and with emotion. I thank you very much for sharing your talents with me...best wishes for your continued success.”

“...besides literary gifts you have the gift of thoughtfulness. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and gifts with others...”
