Seeds of Hope

About the Book

"Seeds of Hope" is a companion piece to my original garden book of poems entitled: A Single Rose Can be My Garden. In this book I elaborate the central themes of twelve selected poems into complete essays on those self-same themes: food, books, rock music, babies, freelance writing, travel, nature, the sea, the alps, home, love and friendship, little things. What is good about this book? If you liked the above poems in my garden book, you'll love hearing more about them in this short series of essays. They have a lot to do with the theme of one's outlook on life during this god awful pandemic. These essays do not preach any philosophy of life to get us through this, but they distract us a little by reminding us of all the good/ better/ best things we DO have going for us on this continent of north america. Where we left off before/one soon fine day we will be able to pick up again! That's one reason you may enjoy reading Seeds of Hope!

About the Author

Christopher Richard Nelson is the author of ten original first class books, four research studies on the planet/big picture when it comes to economy and ecology/five sets of poems/people and pets/celebrates modern life/philosophy of life/and the need for a fair peace. This being his tenth book: Seeds of Hope. Six books so far submitted/self-published with Xlibris publishing house. My writing is far from done. I plan to research and surf the internet for famous quotations on any number of themes (the possibilities are infinite) and convert them into poems and essays much as I have done here. A great good slogan/motto for all of us might be: onwards and upwards!
