Joseph Kent

Blue Images in Sunshine Joseph Kent

High in the blue sky, their wings transparent,

the color of sky, they fly near the sun,

sleep on the wind...

-Joseph Kent


In an expressive collection of contemporary poems, Joseph Kent allows others an enlightening glimpse into his mind as he lyrically reflects on the ever-changing world around him.

Kent, a seasoned poet, shares verse that explores a variety of themes that include the cloudscapes above a city seemingly out of step with the rest of the world, the friendship between a young couple on a beautiful spring day, a changed environment after a long drought ends, a wild snow goose who yearns for a mate, and a scenic walk on a magical day that inspires deep reflection about what guides the future.

Blue Images in Sunshine shares a compilation of poems that intertwine the beauty of Earth with the soul of man as he re_ ects on all there is and all there can be within a spectacular world.

The poems swirl in and out of things, always bearing a spiritual presence. [Kent's] poems are hinges around which humans swing to close and open the doors of perception ... We come to life in these poems of greater being.
