As a classical composer, a popular songwriter, an essayist, a performer, and America's best-selling and most widely read poet, he has shed light on the day-to-day changes in his own life and what goes on in the world that he travels. This is a multilayered as he explores the many aspects of love wished for, love in progress, and love gone awry. Whether wry, whimsical, passionate or mournful, the poems are honest, striking and inventive. ).
