Poems of The Infinite Dream

Poems of the Infinite Dream (written in 1993-94) was a poetic response to Wm. Blake’s idea that If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. It was also the second book of a series of poems under one title that began with Faith of Heart in 1992 and has continued to the present time with Vandalia.
