Poetry: from Pleiku to Panamá to Pigalle to Pluto.
Filled with emotional candor and lyrical beauty.
Fletcher writes about love ... against a cosmic panorama
Turning life into poetry
A penetrating and provocative smorgasbord. His poems sing and inform in thoughtful,
non-conforming, wonderful ways. Life's harmonies coupled with a realistic sprinkling
of irony and brilliant dissonance. An existential celebration of life.
A linguistic movie!
