The sun has descended below the far horizon. The inky blackness of night begins to envelop the land. Day has gone, and the nocturnal times reveal themselves. But above the dark blanket the moon, whether waxing or waning, stands sentry, and around it vast clouds and swirls of stars regiment themselves. We look up in awe and wonder, frail beneath their vista. Our gloried poets are on hand, though, to capture word and deed, emotion and feeling, friend and foe.

Out in the cold fringes. The Oort cloud of the consciousness where light is scarce. Only the icy stare of countless unnamed stars to see you along your journey. A path with no beginning, nor port of call. A tortured sojourner lost in a hellish purgatory, searching in despair for an exit. The Tower & the Star is not only a strange tale, but a frigid trek through melancholic dejection. One spirit's rove into the dark night and its arduous transformation throughout. An unmoored voyage with but a whit of hope to lay hold of that tunnel's subsequent light.

River of Stars is a volume of poems in a series. Poems are inspired by many different occurrences. River of Stars is just such a volume. The poems are inspired by the natural world and the cosmic realm. In them I find meaning, intrigue, and understanding as I seek to convey in simple concise statements what has caused me to stop and pause, then write. Each writing is simply just that, a writing. When one can write without debating the substance and the subject the words drift onto the page. The pen struggles to keep pace.

Rock music is the reason we are alive. Nothing seems to rule more than rock music. Some rock stars are even cooler than the rest, so Andrew Bushard has chosen his favorite rock star to praise in this volume of free speech poetry.

Débris du sillage: Libre mais inquiète, la poésie de Gilles Latour révèle une appréhension devant la dégradation de l'environnement physique, social et politique. À la merci de l'étoile: Au coeur de l'explosion cosmique qui constitue « l'univers connu », notre existence paraît d'autant plus insignifiante que l'étoile à la merci de laquelle nous existons dépend elle-même de forces qui échappent à notre entendement. Pourtant, nous continuons de nous agiter dans l'illusion de notre propre importance, comme si nous étions le cœur même de l'univers, son Étoile.
