So begins an invitation to a journey. In this moving collection of poems, Al Starkey travels into vast and often uncertain territory. He grapples with an array of topics and questions love, despair, joy, darkness, hope, ignorance, wisdom, injustice, failure, faith, growing old, death, heaven and hell taking us on a sometimes precarious, sometimes uproarious, ride. Blue Music gives us a glimpse into one man’s inner landscape in ways that can echo into our own lives, sounding into the depths, giving voice to becoming fully alive, purely authentic, uniquely whole and in service to something beyond ourselves.
