The Ghosts of Autumn Cody J Farrell

A collection of poems covering subjects from the beauty and power of nature to the process of finding oneself in dark times. There is a persistence, a resilient and relentless spirit to these words, surviving self doubt and tragedy. Within are questions that one must ask to themselves just as there are innumerable questions that one might wish to ask a higher power or the universe itself. This collection is presented as a capstone to a time that while formative to the author, has long since passed. The closing of one door in order to open another. "I hope my work highlights themes of the human condition and contrasts them with an older and more idyllic world; that of the wilderness and the quiet hours of a lonely night. These words are polaroids and postcards, secret notes and memories of those I have loved and lost along the way . It is to those no longer with us who I dedicate this book to."
