Ripples in the Fabric of the Universe by Jim Tilley published by Red Hen Press, Pasadena, California in June this year, is an interesting mix of relationship perceptions and how the universe works in everyday life. The one hundred and forty-two pages are divided into three sections in the following order: from IN CONFIDENCE 2011, from CRUISING SIXTY TO SEVENTY 2014, from LESSONS FROM SUMMER CAMP 2016 and NEW POEMS.
In the first section on page nineteen, Tilley explores his relationship with his father in the poem HALF-FINISHED BRIDGE.
