People Matter: Sarasota Portraits & Others is a collection of
poems, most of which describe individuals. These descriptions are
often presented by an omniscient third-person narrator who is
familiar with the subject's history, present circumstances and
personal thoughts and feelings. In other instances, however, the
poem may be a steam-of-conscious presentation of the subject's
thoughts and feelings. For this reason, these poems are called
portraits. These portraits, however, describe the psychological and
emotional states of the subject characters. The first section of
the collection presents sixteen poems focused distinctly on types
of individual the author observed residing in Sarasota and its
northern neighbor Bradenton, Florida. The people described are of
various ages, backgrounds and occupations and, together, they
suggest at least the outlines of a community. The focus of the
second section of 26 poems is more general in nature, presenting
figures of historical or cultural significance from ancient to
contemporary times such as the Roman emperor Hadrian, the artist
Vincent Van Gogh, the English novelist Thomas Hardy and
entertainers Rosemary Clooney and Madonna. These portraits are
supplemented by poems which consider in a general way human nature
and the human condition. The overriding theme of all the poems is
the significance of the individual human life. Contemporary Western
culture often gives lip service only to the dignity and value of
the individual. This collection asserts that, in fact, people
matter, that people are more important than money or power.
