His iconic status now spans global literature and stems directly from the magnitude of his plays, both tragedies and comedies, and his poetry which is often cited as some of the greatest love poetry ever written.

This selection of poems by a new author was triggered by the tragic death of his 28-year-old daughter. So the collection begins with loss and the aftermath of loss: the hope of the author that his daughter and he may be reunited in the life to come. This hope underlies many of the poems. This is clearly articulated in ‘Osler and Son’, where a father grieves for loss of his son in World War I but in a stoical, unexpressed manner.

Story
In "Secrets of the Shadows," haunting verses capture listeners into a realm where the humans and ghosts intertwine. In this collection of poems, I have worked with an enigmatic world of ghosts unraveling the veiled narrative that lingers between the two realms. With poignant imagery and a ghostly elegance, the collection transcended the boundaries of the known and the unknown.

Story
The magnificence and tragedy of the Old West is here, as told by the brilliant epic poet John G. Neihardt: the courage of the settlers in the American West, the valiant resistance by the Native peoples who called it home. The legendary warriors Crazy horse, Red Cloud, and sitting Bull ride forth again, the ghost dance is performed once more; The 7th cavalry is annihilated at the Little Bighorn only to rise again and participate in a horrific massacre at Wounded Knee.
