Extended description

In this small collection of poems, arranged as an orchestral symphony, David H. Keith explores love and general observations of the human condition. He even adds a chuckle or two as a bit of respite between these two larger themes. His poems are mostly “nontraditional” in that they are unrhymed and each carries its own rhythm rather than being forced in to sonnet or lyric or ode. He does make one exception: an Italian form known as a sestina. He challenges the reader to recognize which of his poems it is.

Review by: Jane Foster on Aug. 14, 2012 : star star star star star
David is a truly wonderful poet. This work is a cornucopia of beautifully crafted poems from the sublime to the ridiculous! Some quirky, witty and very clever, others pure achingly heartfelt emotion, undiscovered without deep excavation of the soul. A triumph!

How many times have I said 'I do not like poetry'? and yet I continue to read it because, on a rare day, I will find verses that are more than rhymes or rhythms . They are verses that magically weave words with emotions and possibly soul-searched truths. 'Two Dozen Visions' is just such a work which has left me fragile from its impact. Poetry is personal but I feel that this collection has something to touch everyone...
