Publisher's Synopsis
A Fraction of the Complete Works of Paul Mitchell is a collection of 98 poems selected from a lifetime of writing. It is a fraction of life's experiences over sixty years of being human, in times where small blessings are all we have to cling to, to be able to take the next step of the journey. These poems are written with a spontaneity of thought and language, yet seasoned with uncommon wisdom and surprising wit, cultured through a keen observation of nature, humanity, and the spiritual.
Poems are a constant escape from the disappointments of wondering how life might have been if the brass ring that was offered so often had been grasped. Poems are reminders of the delightful moments that brighten our hearts. Poems are another path that is neither the broad nor the narrow way, but where comfort soothes the mind and the truth does not hurt, and joy comes in the sharing of life's whole spectrum.
