LATE THOUGHTS is the most recent publication of poetry by the American poet and writer, Peter Weltner. These remarkable poems reflect the power and honesty of a poet in the fullness of his life. His poems, as described by Joseph Stroud, "...look directly at the world. They don't flinch in the face of loss and death. They strive for a transcendence where All's light, All's water, All's paradise shimmering." Or, as William O'Daly describes Weltner's poetry, "Weltner's agile, passionate ear guides and clarifies imagination, as the poems' emotional truths dance to intricate, organic music, delicate, tidal."
