This initial collection of some 200 original written works (of which only a handful have previously seen the light of day) draws from a prodigious assemblage penned during four decades of expressive poetic ideation\u2014as the book title suggests, these poems have percolated in the bard\u2019s brain long enough\u2014they\u2019re good and ripe by now and ready to be read by all.<\/p>\n<p>Sam\u2019s poems provide a plaintive voice for our tempestuous times\u2014his unique commentaries on life and love (and love-lost ennui) are at once poignant, unapologetically direct, and (often) edged with the tragic\u2014his ponderings range from the profane to the sacred, drill deep, and dare to pose unanswerable questions. Unheralded, unsung, and little published though Sam\u2019s inspired ruminations have been in the past, they\u2019re finally compiled, printed, bound, and available for a broader readership.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s our hope that as you dip in and out of this book, you do so with an open mind (which, like a parachute, works much better than when closed)\u2026 and as you read, let Sam\u2019s pen sketch stories, pictures, contemplations on blank pages of your own imagination. The works offered are Sam\u2019s invitation to laugh, to cry, to curse, and to reflect\u2014on opportunities long gone and outcomes yet to come.
