Habitat of Home Michael Colby

Michael Colby's poetry deals with universal themes of loss and desire, of family and home, in this collection that spans 50 years of creativity. The numerous illustrations are also his. Most were done expressly for this volume, while others date to the 1970's. "My poetry is a simple, solitary expression couched in a metaphysical language which escapes preconceived notions found in common language. It is written as a cadence of music, a harmony of sound to express thought and emotion in a delicately balanced form that brings out the intense passion and emotions of the words. It is a language of harmonic prayer, which speaks from soul to soul and transcends explanation, logic, and rhetoric to communicate almost in spirit language."
