WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOOKLET "NORWOOD NIGHT & OTHER POEMS"?
If you are curious about what you get when you purchase my book "Norwood Night and Other Poems", then I am about to clear up some of the mystery for you.
First of all, this little soft-covered version of the book is over 38 pages in length, counting the copyright and dedication pages. You can literally hold this book in the palm of your hand. Like most books, it is materially composed of paper, ink, and staples...but the spiritual content of this book is what makes it truly valuable.
COVER - "NORWOOD NIGHT & OTHER POEMS" Below the cover:
A color photo of Main Street, Norwood, N.Y. Besides the
photo of myself on the back cover, these are the only
photos in this version of the book. The only other use of
any color in the book is the red line around the dedication.
I used the color red to symbolize the precious blood of
Jesus Christ. The rest of the book is black and white.
(I'm telling you this so you will know what to expect).
INSIDE FRONT COVER - A little information about the cover photo.
( I won't tell you what it says here)

The next page in the book tells you some of the places you may obtain additional copies of "Norwood Night & Other Poems".
The back cover has a very brief bio of me, and although it appears to be signed, in fact, it is only my printed signature. My books sold through AuthorsDen are signed, if you purchase one anywhere else, they are not. (I will sign books if asked). By the way...this edition contains seven more poems than the first 2 editions.
So, there you have it!
I am a book lover at heart. Unlike food and drink which perish with the using...a book may be consumed over and over endlessly. And while the physical 'book' may perish, its contents may linger in the heart and mind for years, and even be memorized and orally passed on to succeeding generations. You can buy a few soda's and after a few minutes they are gone forever! If you buy a book, it just keeps right on entertaining and encouraging for years to come.
Just a closing thought to meditate on.
I will forever by the grace of God remain,
a fellow human & poet
Zach
