EVOCATION To Love, To Hope, To Dream

Optimized
These poems express certain times, feelings and moments in the life of J T Milford. They touch on light, music, nature and things often hidden. Five sections divide the book. Some sections wander through images and places in the authors past. Some are feelings from two previous marriages, others are meditations on war, violence and peace.

"Evocation" is a potpourri of thoughts, images and feelings. It will make the reader feel nostalgic for moments past and wonder for the moments to come.
