ForewordAs children of the 1950's, we were taught to hide emotions and feelings and to outwardly display "political correctness." A poker face was your protective shield and exhibiting emotions equaled weakness. Eclectic Verse belies this theory. From the first word, Bill opens a kaleidoscope of feelings that dwells within all of us. Every verse picture unleashes memories and experiences that are common to us all: The wonder of children, the depth of elders, the bliss of love, the pain of bereavement, the disgust of greed, . . . Eclectic Verse takes you there. Bill's words evoke conversations with the ancestors: "As I barter the gift of their wisdom in exchange for my time and ear."The complexity of mature love is examined as he emotes: "My love for you is greater than my fear of me." I shall carry these words in my head as I moonwalk through my life. Fasten your seatbelt and prepare for an honest, a raw, starkly accurate, revealing and totally relatable ride. Thank you for this cleansing emotional soul shower, Bill.Linda Alexander HendersonWillingboro, New jersey
