The Wanderer: A Poet's Journey

Robert Emmons is the metaphoric sailor who has survived many storms and witnessed glorious sunrises. His poems are invitations to experience the world and be transformed by it. He knows that epiphanies are rarely announced with a bolt of lightning, so studies the small, significant, events that develop our humanity. Emmons' sixth book ranges wide, and the three sections of his book, The Earth, The Sea, and The Sky, suggest his passion for nature and for life. But most of all, my favorites are the Cumulus with their silver towers reaching far up into the heavens. They call to me to scale their heights with a promise of eternal life if I would only try. - from Skies.
