Spanning a period of 36 years, this collection of 36 poems and 18 original works of visual art (black and white images of paintings, drawings, block prints and stone carvings) presents a slice of everyday modern life. A glimpse into a life lived in pursuit of experiencing what Nietzsche meant when he said, "If you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe.

Author James A. Moore offers up ten autumnal tales of the darker things that lurk just around the corner of Indian Summer.

Dinner For One is a love letter from a man to his late wife. A way of saying farewell, but never goodbye. It's a record of love and loss and what it means to be human. Jim Moore is a large man with a large heart, and while that heart has been broken, it is, as Hemingway put it, 'strong in the broken places'.
