Author Description

Surya Prakash lives and works in Madison, Wisconsin. He has written hundreds of poems over the past 40 years. His poetry brings together two congruent elements: first, a love for nature, particularly the wind, wild horses, birds, remote areas, and seascapes; and secondly, a desire to realize the Divine in its many forms. This is his first book of poems. <p> From Sand, Salt & Seawater: <p> Knee of Alaska<br> when<br> you sleep tonight<br> i will be waiting<br> to carry your dream to the knee of Alaska<br> where<br> all of my longing<br> masquerades<br> as a child<br> asleep<br> by the sea<br> " There is] sweetness and longing evoked in these poems that fill the human heart when we truly love another human being."<br> -From the Foreword by Beth Wortzel
