On Inward Wings: Poems and Other Writings by Richard E. Cain.

An outcast gull swept through my reverie, Ascending on inward wings Beyond the canopy of thoughts, Beyond the panoply of things (from The Voyage)

On Inward Wings is an odyssey of the self that traverses both the mundane and the metaphysical. Its variety of poetic and prose writings share vivid imagery informed by wit, humor, and self-doubt. Poignant, powerful, pithy, and at times profound, the poems and writings touch some part of the inward flight of consciousness that every thinking, feeling person experiences.
