Description
“Just as winds range from light, enjoyable breezes to life-threatening tornadoes and hurricanes, Ray M. Cassar’s WHISPERS IN THE WIND moves – in four sections – from softly spoken love poems expressing the poet’s profound devotion to the person with whom he has shared the joys and vicissitudes of many years (“Winds of Love”), to expressions of an angry observer protesting against sleaze, hypocrisy, and irreversible environmental damage (“Winds of Wrath”). The intricate layers of human nature and its contrasting emotions are subsequently encapsulated in succinct, three-line poems like short bursts of high-speed wind (“Brief Gusts of Wind”). As the autumn winds gently rustle through the trees, marking summer’s retreat and nature’s evolving rhythm, the final poems reveal the poet’s contemplative insights amid life’s relentless challenges while constantly yearning for a peaceful port (“Musings in the Wind”). Ray M. Cassar’s poetry, characterized by its truthfulness and directness, sometimes delivered with a gentle tone and at other times as a bold and fervent outcry, evokes a wide range of emotions that leave a lasting impact on the reader.”
