Guardian Angel is a kaleidoscope of vivid poetic imagery and begins with "To all the angels I have known and some I never knew a thousand pardons for the stress I must have put you through." Guardian Angels protect the good from bad consequences. LTC Roy Peterson is the embodiment of the renaissance soldier, statesman, and literary gentleman and harkens back to the likes of Poe and Longfellow, but with the romantic urges of Hemingway and Lord Byron.
American Heartland flows from the Midwestern childhood of the author who learned the values of loyalty, bravery, and honesty with love for God and country. LTC Peterson's poetry is a unique portrayal of those values, as a substantive down to earth word painting, but with a transcending perspective, yet substantive down to earth painting with words everyone can unequalled by modern poets. His down to earth prose combined with his acumen, wit, and wisdom is comparable to Benjamin Franklin in Poor Richard's Almanac. Like Longfellow he portrays a nostalgic past and like Poe, Roy's mystic moments in Fall Fantasy are seductive. Two sections of humor, however, set him apart as a poet for the ages.
American Heritage contains a comprehensive collection of the best poetry previously published in three volumes, Beyond Darkness and Light, Guardian Angel and American Heartland Poetry. Roy Peterson is the quintessential poetry and prose author hearkening back to the great poets in the Pantheon that is the American Heritage of Poetry. Compare his works to Wordsworth, Longfellow, Poe, and Frost for subject variety, style variations, and readable yet complex thought integration making him the poet of and for everyone.
Russian Romance continues the Dane Nelson series from the Book Iron Ikon and describes the difficulties and obstacles of opening the first IBM Office in Vladivostok, Russia.

Classical rhyme and meter poetry is a scarce commodity in the modern world because it takes discipline and dedication beyond the casual prose of the prosaic, but when done correctly with passion as the poetry in "For Love May Find You," it achieves an enduring quality often less appreciated by the present generation than future ones. The subtitle, "Poetry with Passion," shouts substance and scintillating selections. The ten sections with ten poems in each is a symmetry of perfection. These sections are: 1. Nature Time 2. Patriot Mind 3. Kidding Words 4. Weird and Absurd 5. Supernatural Scenes 6. Dreams and Schemes 7. Love Finds 8. Lost Minds 9. Christmas & Holidays 10. Things That Amaze
