The title poem is a witty fable depicting the age-old struggle between good and evil with

a surprise ending. In seven telling chapters, the poet takes the reader on a vast, spiritual

journey sprinkled with humour.

Hope is enlivening a dark universe. Brief, domestic sketches alternate with classic odes. Do

we really die? Dances, music and magic explode with joy. Deeply sensitive questions emerge,

yearning for answers from God. New doors open, and nature shines at its most epic.

Using sparkling, South American rhythms, rhyme, and free verse, Fonseca pours his heart

out into this adventurous, life-affirming poetry collection.
