The Sylvan Dialogues

"The Sylvan Dialogues" is Mike Stone's tenth book of poetry, a collection of poems from 2022. If you have ever meandered through a dense forest at night alone with your thoughts with no particular place to be or time to be at, then these poems are for you.
There are poems about what it's like to live in unpoetic times, about words that should exist but don't, and about questions that should be asked but are not.
There are poems about leaving notes for your wife so she won't worry but she's no longer among the living, about letters we might write to our enemies so that we'll stop killing each other, and about a father, a son, and a ghost.
The poems range over a wide expanse of time and space, subjects, and cultures.
