Figments - Gerald George - Bog

There is a well of sorrow here-in existential probings by
a host of alter egos through unexplored terrain, impossible
crossings, breakdowns and absurdity. Each "figment" is a
step along a trail hitherto shrouded in mist and each step
brightens our way until illumination, action and place are
one, transcending the limitations of reason.
Praise for Figments
-Richard Miles, poet and author of Boat of Two Shores
