The title of Tony Ellis' collection of poems "there is wisdom in
walnuts," reflects one of the primary concerns of this collection:
the presence and containment of the infinite within its smallest
part. Ellis' poems like jewels, spare, serene and pristine in their
beauty need no particular setting. They reflect, like clear mirrors
unhampered by distortion, the unity and connectedness of all
things. Focusing on personal meditative experiences and daily
activities, the poems in this collection playfully and longingly
touch the edges of eternity. With a minimum of adornment and
elaboration, the images presented in these poems move us as through
a prism into the center of things. The speaker in these poems seek
the oneness and is nourished by his affinity to it. In a single
dewdrop the speaker states: from a single drop of dew is the
pathway to a million civilizations whose voice we never hear except
in the gentle breath of breeze and the quiet hum of life infinitely
growing This economy of words, unembroidered, allows for the
graceful and effortless slipping of the bonds of the commonplace as
we enter timelessness and connect with past and future. The
sparkling dewdrop becomes the gateway to connect with the eternal
since it carries within itself the essence and the paradigm of all
of life and is part of the magnificent and all-encompassing
software that is nature. In the poem sometimes, the speaker
explains: there is nothing so fulfilling as the white tassle of a
carpet seen through the eyes of everything, or a simple green pot
sitting clean on a perfect surface
