Connections: Cosmic and Otherwise, Volume I

Souvenirs of the Soul

How many times have we journeyed this path,
Fulfilling our purpose? You just have to laugh.
Adventures, excitement, the highs and the lows,
The endless remit of the Universe flows.
So trust in the cosmic and all that is true;
One thing for certain is how much I love you.

Ian Stott found a love for poetry by cosmosis. After the passing of his wife, Astrid, in 2008, the touching of pen to paper became a creative experience for him with a powerful cathartic effect.

Connections: Cosmic and Otherwise, Volume II

Tell Me a Story

The answer elusive like sparks from the fire,
The question of what goals to aspire.
What lies in the depths of your heart
Is what sets the great men apart—
The noble quest to raise the bar,
To guide humankind to a brighter star.

Ian Stott leans on rhymes and his heart to speak to people from all walks of life while reminding us that there is inspiration to be found within the peace of daily observation and creative expression.
In a second volume of poetry that includes photographs, Stott shares verse that evolves from the emotional release of his debut poetry collection, Souvenirs of the Soul. Within diverse poems, Stott lyrically explores the game of life, the magic of giving, broken glass on a beach, the depths of despair, the angel of deception, skating on ice blocks, breadcrumbs and beaches, and kindred spirits.
