Reflections of Darkness and Light is novelist Michael Andre Fath s debut volume of verse. These 51 poems transcend the gamut of human emotion and experience, whether physical, mental or spiritual, and sometimes everything, wrapped into a single offering. The splendor of daughters, our Chesapeake Bay s sheer majesty, the sublime brilliance of sport and luminosity of music, etc., are included themes giving way to those feelings of grandeur; with even the devoted care of one s 1950 s Chevrolet, and the intoxicating visual seduction of a simple sundress
Yet to counterbalance while being faithful to the more somber and tragic aspects of life, entries also portray the loneliness of being a single father, sibling and parent loss, fall from grace, a beloved pet s transition, a Marine Vietnam veteran s catharsis and much more.
These will hopefully, at the very least, entice reflection and appreciation of surviving life s numerous and many times seemingly insurmountable and impossible challenges."
