Book excerpt: Stephen R. Galatis engaging new collection of poetry and prose provides a sometimes musical, sometimes bold view of emotional transformation. The poems and short fiction are reflective and candid, and take us through lifes hidden passageways that guide us from the point of hardship to the moment of healing. Themes of nature, love, pain, and loss are addressed through metaphor and honesty in his prose and in such poems as Farewell Like the Autumn Leaf, While She Sleeps, and When You Are Done. This is a wonderfully enlightening collection from one of todays great new voices.
