Hugh Burgess Book order (chronological)

Poignant poems, often humorous, often grieving, and always beautifully crafted, based on the author's life of teaching and administration in a highly prestigious private school near Baltimore, MD. Poems of boating, living close to nature, parenting/grandparenting, and writing. The poems take the reader (in the author's own words) to the water's edge at midnight to witness your fear as the Great Lights flash like the first gods' own dark eyes across the crest of Borestone Mountain. The book is published posthumously as a tribute.
