Somewhere A Flower Blooms

This rare collection of poems offers a wide variety of subject matter and poetic styles. Each poem, in its own unique way, seeks to capture within its tone and phrasing the spirit of the modern world. John Herlihy as poet concerns himself primarily with the human condition and what it means to be both a human and a spiritual person in today's modern, fast-paced, materialistic and secular world. The poems are separated into four different categories, including a separate section for poems that explore the human intimacy with nature, portfolio poems that represent the heart and soul of the poet's output, narrative poems that tell a unique, individual story, and finally spiritual poems that focus primarily on the soul experience within the human condition, an experience that actually raises us up to fulfill our destiny as spiritual beings experiencing life in our human world.
