Heading Out, Cosmic and Cryptic Poetry and Prose
()
About this ebook
Head out into the land of cosmic and cryptic poetry and prose. Feel the longings of the body and soul. Challenge the paradigms of society. Hunger for the natural life on a thriving planet. Seek balance. Look for real sanity and true love. And while you are at, have some fun, why don't you.
As well as being a wordsmith by nature, a varied life has contributed to Roger's inspiration. Growing up in the Seattle area, four years in a co-ed private Quaker boarding high school in Pennsylvania, the psychedelic 60's and the earthy 70's in western Washington state, a cosmic 80's in Santa Cruz, California, and traveling and living in Europe have provided fertile grounds for this collection of creative writings and poetry.
Money for Art:
Buying this book, I'll tell you right now, is good for your health.
Though it may seem, on the surface, to compromise your wealth.
This book you can open, and read and reread, whatever you find.
You'll get a new meaning, with each day's new light, and that's good for your mind.
A penny saved, is a penny earned, so they've always told you.
But listen carefully, to what I say to you now, and you'll know it rings true.
Reading the words in this book, is like a walk in the woods, and good for your heart.
And spending those pennies, will free your soul, if spent to buy art.

Heading Out
So grab aholt of the right maps
(or the best maps available)
and head out.
Read these poems for what they are. Words. Crafted together (I give myself too much credit) from all the words I know and some I don’t know. Most of them just spilled out of me, needing just a little shaping to become something I liked (usually). I think they all mean something and say something, though I’m not sure. Read them, be sure you know what they are about.... or not. Agree, disagree, be challenged, be amused, be turned on. And hopefully enjoy. Maybe they will help you find your way home (if that’s where you want to go).
In any case, stumble on sweetly.
Contents
Most of the poetry in Heading Out spilled out of my mind and pen during a prolific period of lyric writing in the 1980’s and 90’s. I was compelled to compile it into a book but as it turned out it would be a while until it became available in eBook and print form. In the interim I had a brief era in the 2000’s where I wrote a handful of new poems and prose of a very different flavor; these perhaps a little looser. Finally I include a section of poemlets and writings dredged up from the way back.
