In the Time of Corona

Twenty-three poems, with accompanying photography. Flowers, skulls, the truth, willows, sand and dark water. About love, about magic, about apostasy. Simple Illinois boy growing up, connecting to history and ancestry. Mystical leanings, getting older now day by day. Experiencing life as he knows it. Love lost, love gained, not holding on to shooting stars, letting their light hit the earth and brighten the sky. Can't say it all, but can sure try. Enjoying the waves as they come in. "When faced with the ever daunting question of, 'What does one do when so much has been taken away?'', Ken's answer is to reflect and create. In the process, poetry is born. Not simply of word alone, but in fragments of soul that each poem inherently possesses. Each takes the reader to a moment in time that, for one reason or another, are precious."
