Never Enough, the fourth book of lyric poems by William Guest, praises nature, and the joy derived from it, in so many of its manifestations. There are also poems about climate change and family, as well as existential ruminations about life and death. And poems about aging, as he has now reached his tenth decade, hoping for more and more.
Time Do Not Stop is built around meditations on family, eternity, the joys of life, the pondering of mortality and loss, the grinding mill of continuous change, illusions and realities, and the plight of small humans in a vast cosmos.Guest's diverse experiences as a lawyer, business executive, and sculptor lend perspective to many of life's most ineffable emotional and intellectual quandaries. Through all of this, he provides us with a myriad of ways to see and feel the vitality of being, even when ultimate meaning, if any, remains elusive.This sharing of decades of observant poems is more about the questions of the world than any presumed answers. Time Do Not Stop makes us ask, Would we ever want to stop time?No. It's too beautiful, what we have.
Out of the Dark, the third book of lyric poems from William Guest, traverses time and space - and the poet's long life - to give unique insight into a key purpose of all poetry: to strive for meaning and understanding, and to celebrate the shared experience of what it's like to be alive. Through these poems we find a common humanness that we see in each other, and that we know we share, in face of the challenges that can tear us apart. Written over the course of many years, and with Guest's usual vision and perspective, these poems seek - and find - a rare light.
The young man setting out in life. I. Life: how will you use it?
