They are the work of a middle-aged man who struggles on a daily basis to reconcile the persistence of foolish hopes with uncompromising reality, misses the prairies of his native Minnesota, longs to believe in a higher power, and strives to smile at his foibles as each passing day humbles him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIn form, the pieces vary between formal and free verse and were inspired by the likes of Theodore Roethke, Philip Larkin, Seamus Heaney, Jean L.
