Love is the most consequential of all human emotions. To experience it is elation; to express it is to speak from the heart; to receive it, the finest moment; to lose it, the worst day; and to write about it is poetry. This book is a literary quest for love in its most idyllic form and the author's journey, as a young man, to reconcile the love he discovers with reality.

Produktbeschreibung
Love is the most consequential of all human emotions. To experience it is elation; to express it is to speak from the heart; to receive it, the finest moment; to lose it, the worst day; and to write about it is poetry. This book is a literary quest for love in its most idyllic form and the author's journey, as a young man, to reconcile the love he discovers with reality. Using verse and prose in contrasting styles in collaboration with his imaginary sixteenth century mentor, the famous Don Quijóte de La Mancha, the author explores the depth and breadth of love in a literary style quite unlike most anthologies of poetry. Set in the late 1960s, the poet's work explores a succession of romantic relationships influenced, pointedly, by the "love generation," its freedoms, imagination and contradictions. As the author describes it, "it's a series of love stories told, day by day, in a most unique and lyrical way." While the pace, distractions and complexities of present-day America lessen our ability to be in love, Conversations with Quijóte reawakens the reader to the sensations and sensibilities of true romance, its rewards and consequences.

Autorenporträt
The author was born and raised in northern New Mexico, where his family settled more than three hundred years ago. A poet in his youth, his early literary works inspired and chronicled his romantic experiences during the "love generation" in the late 1960s and 1970s, as contained in Conversations with Quijóte, also from Sunstone Press. A trial lawyer and executive manager for most of his adult life, his poetic skills brought energy and creativity to his legal and business writings. Now in retirement, his life experiences, realized dreams and expressive writing style bring meaning and character to his contemporary work, and to the poetry he authored more than fifty years ago. He is also the author of Love Ever After, Selected Sonnets, 1971-2024 from Sunstone Press.
