Abstract

Most of the poems In this collection are autobiographical and written in free-verse. The one short story Included, though not based on an actual experience, Is autobiographical In spirit. Close to one-fourth of the poems are written In formal verse. Including such forms as, blank verse, rimas dissolutas, the pantoum, the sonnet, accentual, or syllabic verse. The four sections of poetry reflect the circular movement of the theme of the manuscript, the quest for the return to the indominantable spirit of my family circle.
