"Woolgatherer’s Chapbook" is a collection of short poems. The formal requirements of each poem are matched by the structure of the music. The Woolgatherer is a dreamer, but his visions are intense. They run together and mingle, and each poem sows the seed of the next, like the passing of generations, or the metastasis of thought.
