In Poetry My Mother Would've Approved the author wrote freely of his life and perceptions. In PMMWNHA he continues the same way adding more of the sublime ideal to the earthly poetry of its predecessor. His attitude in his poetry is Take the impulse to create put it to paper, napkin, parchment, fresco, business card, backside of a magazine etc. then finish the thought as gracefully and truthfully as it deserves. Poetry composed of magnificent words and erudite phrases can be impressive, even compelling, but unless these artifices contribute to the perception of a bonafide sentiment there is no place for them, and in his poetic words all of the unnecessary, pedantic and diffuse are struck from Van Heyden's literature.
