"The Great Year"

Walking to Meadowbrook Golf Course, 27 March 2020

I wrote "The Great Year" in the mid- to late- 1990s. Here is the complete, edited, version available on the internet archive.

The Great Year is a collection of poems that celebrate a period of time that lasts 25,868 years during which Earth passes through the twelve zodiacal signs, and the Great Months, each lasting approximately 2,500 solar years. Poetry is the voice of the human soul, and like astrology and mythology, it is also the language of the unconscious mind, of dreams, symbolism, irrationality, and intuition.
