A Delicate Balance: Music of Life (Volume 1) P. R. Flower

If you love rock/pop music from the 1970's/1980's and poetry, then this author's got your mix. The title refers to the wonders of today's sometimes "detached" technology while remembering not to leave out your heart. He walks you through childhood memories--some unique, but many universal--mostly through the prism of music. Some of the writing "riffs" off of songs and lyrics while other poems address the nostalgia of growing up during the last decades of analog media. These are tales from before the Berlin Wall came down. America's space program was in full force. Smart phones and the internet were not within reach. He reflects on an era before instant gratification became the norm. Undeniably, it was a more innocent time to come of age.
