Like William Blakes Songs of Innocence and Experience, these poems evoke childhood moments from the dream-like states of infancy to the early exhilarations of nature, animals, games, school, sex, and the earliest discoveries of love. Such elusive memories are screened through the double lens of the boys innocence and the grown mans more complex awareness. In exploring the world of the poets personal history, First Kingdoms also records and celebrates a type of childhood less and less known to todays digitally-obsessed generations.
