Shadow Country is a collection of poems about life, love, memories, and perception. From sitting next to a lake, to traveling through mountains, to watching elderly residents from behind a desk, Mr. Pompey’s poems take in life with insight, dry humor, and the perceptions of a poet who has reached the twilight of aging. Somewhere in this mix is God the observer and perhaps a chance to live in peace. As such, the poetry, violin, and piano music presented tonight reflect the atmosphere, emotions, and values of a life in search of that peace.
