Publisher's Synopsis
Don Beaudreau has been writing poetry and making music from early childhood. The poetry he writes, and the music he plays and sings (he is primarily a jazz pianist) are compositions of rhythm and sound, mood and subtlety. Poetry and music are not one for him, but reflections of th"e same need: a yearning for him to express who he is as a human creation, sometimes feeling lost in the vortex, sometimes feeling elated that he was created in the first place, but always existing in a state of curiosity and amazement. These poems, then, are a reflection of the music within him. Thinking of poetry and music as one, he has for many years, made his daily mantra the words of Friedrich Nietzsche, that great philosopher: Without music, life would be a mistake!
