About this ebook
Gnomes Gnotebook is a work of contemporary poetry reflecting thirty years of observing life. Poetry is art and all poems included within Gnomes Gnotebook are literary paintings translating the visual natural world into mental images, which are then re-interpreted by each person in light of his or her own life experiences. By sharing and re-interpreting these experiences through the art of poetry, we come to understand the very uniqueness of who we are in the created world and hopefully, to appreciate the dignity of our common humanity.

About the Author
Preface
This book is the culmination of writing poetry for more than thirty years. The title, Gnome’s Gnotebook, is derived from the journal my mother bought me in which to keep my poetry. It had a denim cover with little gnomes on the front. I filled the book with my poetry and rewrites.
Artists study the landscape before they begin their work. Based on what they see, they reinterpret images and then reproduce them as filtered through their unique visions and the medium utilized.
