Poems of Ambiance

About the Book

Poems of Ambiance is a rare and unique, the most beautiful unpublished poems in English language! Trancelike in quality, these visionary portraits sprang from their author’s mind like Minerva from the brow of Jove. His only brainchild, this slim volume of eighty-seven poems was almost thirty years in the writing. As their title suggests, they seem to emanate from many sources-classical fountains, deeply ancient, from many lands. Their dreamlike ubiquity is pervasive, mysterious; astonishing the imagination with language that yokes heart and mind the way a sequoia redwood connects heaven with earth. Don’t miss Poems of Ambiance!

About the Author

Franklin Pillsbury lives in California and Arizona, the youngest of three children. He is fifty-three years old, unmarried, and a substitute teacher in the high schools. He has bachelors and masters degrees in literature. His father, a professor of education, took a family to live in Afghanistan for several years when Franklin was a boy. They also lived in Europe while the elder Pillsbury did research and writing for The United Nations. Franklin is a world traveler visiting places including Nepal, Iran, Mexico, the Soviet Union and Japan. He grew up in Southern California, a descendant of pioneers and early patrician family, absorbing the 1960’s and their aftermath. A westerner through and through, he’s at home in the saguaro deserts of Arizona or The Grand Canyon as well as Disneyland, Yosemite or the Sequoia redwoods. Once a surfer, he’s also Buddhist meditator reflecting on the Pacific influences there on the farthest shores of the known world-at the end of ancient line, he sits waiting there by the well of souls.
