Jim Feast states in his preface to the present volume: "This collection of fireballs by Sedrick A. Goldbeck beckons the readers' entrance with a golden hand. They are the mood pieces of a man who only breaks his mind to the world when his natural reticence is overpowered by bittersweet passion. As he suggests in "...Crazy after all these years","...profound meditations do not lead to a full articulation of his inner self. Only through writing can the fleeting flittings of his disturbed heart be recorded."
