A Gnome, A Candle, And Me

by George Sewell, Chester Delacruz (Illustrator)

"A Gnome, A Candle, and Me" is George Sewell's collection of poetry, philosophy and mischief. His reflections in a candle on a winter's night lured a Gnome from the shadows to comment on his musings. Poet and Gnome spar over interpretations of the human experience in time and place. Key moments in that dialogue are illustrated by artist Chester Delacruz. As the author "Gnomes are curious creatures. They readily inhabit the world of man, although they seldom acknowledge it. It seems that when the mind of man stretches and seeks an understanding of creation, these quiet fellows gently tug at reluctant thoughts to aid the awareness of our more direct and true selves." "Of course," adds the Gnome, "I would caution the prospective reader to bear in mind that humans tend to complicate matters with too much thinking - especially this one."
