The Pinnacle is a very special place for poet John Ellis and his wife, Carolyn. The two have been living in this independent living community in New Braunfels, Texas, and have discovered new adventures and new surprises with their friends and neighbors. Ellis celebrates the vibrancy of the community and the lives of its residents through his work in Poems from the Pinnacle. This new poetry collection, the fifth Ellis has created, includes poems originating in and dedicated to Ellis's treasured home. Through seventy unique pieces of lyricism, Ellis addresses numerous issues. One section warns of the perils of modern technology and society's shifting values. Ellis looks at the recent changes in the world and what they mean for our shared future. One poem focuses on the hypocrisy of a "nonapology" by celebrities and acquaintances alike. Another section describes the challenges and grief diseases like Alzheimer's can bring. Though Ellis explores heavy themes of bereavement and loss, he does not dwell on depression. Instead, sections devoted to the Creator, spirituality, and worship remind you of the beauty and grace in the world. Ellis's work is inspiring and optimistic. Hope, life, and light are found everywhere-especially at the Pinnacle!
