Whether you are a high school athlete, a parent, or just enjoy watching sports, you know that high school sports are packed
full of passion and unbridled hope that no other level of play seems to possess. Watching these spirited individuals is not only entertaining but also creates a sense of nostalgia mixed with renewed hope for the future. The author of Moments at Anchor Bay High is a huge fan of high school sports. Over the years, he has dug deeper within both the game and himself to seek a
spiritual nature to these events. He regularly draws from the passion of a particularly well played game or a play off match to find his inspiration for his
writing. These are often written, without sleep to interrupt the flow of the raw feelings, over the course of several days. I find the process of the author’s writing of this collection of works extremely interesting. He almost seems to siphon excess energy off the games and then infuses this passion into his writing. The resulting poems and letters are filled with spiritual metaphor that often has double or triple meanings that go far beyond the surface of the original sporting activity.
