Along the Way
“In this first collection of poems, Mr. Munch expresses an intimacy with Nature that acknowledges, often with childhood freshness, the spiritual impact of Nature’s beauty, wonder, and mystery. Munch’s keenly personal and pictorially vibrant style of poetry floats between child-like simplicity, spirituality, philosophy, and Zen Buddhism. ”

“In this second collection of poems, Mr. Munch continues exploring his deep connection with Nature, as expressed in his “Along The Way” collection, but this time divides the book in half, including poetry that contrasts the first half of the book with darker or more difficult aspects of life.”
