"In a Past Life & Other Poems Sung by the Window" was written between December 13, 2021 & March 17, 2022 (an inflection point in the poet's life, truly a fit of creative mania) and includes themes of addiction, recovery, struggles to cope with the absurdity of life, death, rebirth, and ultimate redemption. It is an autobiographical survey, crossing the country that is in the poet's mind, with marker stones laid out to guide the reader along. "In a Past Life", the title poem, traces several of the incarnations that the poet believes his soul has taken. The memories of these past lives, shaken loose from specific moments of time in his current life, inspired the tribute that this book is to his father, Dr. B., who passed away on April 28, 2003.
