About this listen
A Hidden Garden is Whitley Strieber's first book of poetry. Whitley has been writing poems for many years, but previously only shared them with friends. This book contains poems he has written since 1980, but most of them were written since 2015. Just one of the poems, "Somebody Kissed Me," directly refers to his experiences with the otherworldly presence he calls the visitors, but it eloquently expresses the power and mystery of this very special part of his life. The others chronicle his love affair with his beloved wife Anne, and, in the Liberty Poems, another, more recent love with somebody he values deeply, and who is also a subtle and challenging teacher who has given him great pain and great insight, and changed his life in many powerful ways.
The book includes poems on many different subjects, ranging from the profound to the funny to the eerie, and reflect his many interests and intense curiosity about living life well and dying with courage and joy. One section of four poems for children, which includes a moving ballad about a dog and a shorter poem about, of all things, a fly, reflect his love of kids and his profound hope for and belief in the future.

Poems that are sublime, thoughtful and short
Whitley Strieber's books have captivated me for years - I am talking both the visitor related and horror / sci fi novels. Of the former, there are true classics in his oeuvre and TBH I can not understand why more of them have not been made into films.
I am not a fan of poetry, likely because of the rubbish teachers I had when at school, But I can still appreciate it as a literary art form. Given the author, I would be surprised if these poems weren't any good, and of course they are wonderful,

Amazing prose and magic.
Please check this out if you are a fan of poetry or Mr. Strieber or both! I am not the biggest fan of poetry but I am realizing I’ve missed a lot after listening to this book. The poems in this book are magical as is the narration.
