Lights on a Ground of Darkness:
An Evocation of a Place and Time

Lights on a Ground of DarknessHe's taken us from the heights of the Bohemian Alps through Weather Central and into the inner sanctum of the poetry home repair workshop.

Ted has described this as the most important book he's ever written, an attempt to preserve on paper the vibrancy of his mother's family.
