A House of Many Rooms

Author: Zaret Barry L

Number Of Pages: 108

Details: Product Description

A House of Many Rooms is a glittering memory palace filled with treasures that capture in splendid poetic words and images, “emotion recollected in tranquility”. Some of the rooms echo the New England pastoral tone of Robert Frost while others contain the murmurs of William Carlos Williams and shared lives in medicine. Undergirding the whole structure is a life lived in and by the wisdom imparted by a strong religious faith. There is nostalgia and a looking back upon a fulfilled life while accepting a sense of the ending. The work represents a late life style, a sublime artistry that will enchant and deeply move all those who amble through its rooms of poetic eloquence. A towering palace on a hill.
