Playground of Destiny
In Carl Scharwath's Playground of Destiny, the author’s yearning for something lost inhabits every page. His world is ethereal if not abstract, both modern and ancient, and there are times you feel a little lost, too, until a very human and heartbreaking phrase – Opening up to you/is easy as breathing – grounds you. This is art.

In “Playground of Destiny” Carl Scharwath proves his many talents. He combines his earthly and ethereal photographs with melodic poems, Haiku, and short stories. His multitalented accomplishments sing throughout this book.
His poem “Algor” describes all of us who search for our own meaning. “Like a winter landscape fearful / Of revealing what lies underneath / And I-one minute / Adrift from myself.”
This is a beautiful book.
