From the back cover:

The voices in this collection sigh, sing, invoke, cry out. They summon us to crossroads and moon soaked fields, to foolishness and remembering, to risk, to poetry.

Why?

Because ... Moving at speed leaves little time for reflection...
this world is still a new fools paradise ...
there are dreams that go on like this, endless and possible...

stand out in some moonsoaked field ... let the night fall in you ...
