The delightful poems of this current volume are, for the most part, lyric in character. There are imaginative love poems, such as aThe Cosmic Courtshipa and aWhere Are You, My Love?a Several reveal the authoras love of nature, such as aBlessed Is the Gentle Spirit.a aI Walked in Paradise Todaya is typical of his lighter poems of a religious nature. A few draw on imagery from mathematics (aLonelinessa), others treat historical topics (aThe Lombardsa) or legends (aThe Death of Quetzalcoatla). To complete the picture, the author treats us to some personal reminiscences (aThe Queen of the Springa) and a few humorous poems.The salient feature of Mr. Zimmermannas poems is music. They are very harmonious in nature; it would not be an exaggeration to say that they sing. Each poem is a highly unified entity, with the thought clearly expressed with pleasing imagery.
