Stars are relevant to the solution.

trueyeti To confirm that as Cassiopeia you would need to turn the book cover upside down. The black line denotes the terrestrial and the stars are the celestial realm. Forrest is on Earth fishing in the heavens.
The Triangulum location on my inverted book overlay is how it appears in the Northern hemisphere, I have witnessed it.

yeah-yeah-yeah....But Forrest is all about upside down and backwards, and in between the lines, and what is up - is down....you know "all around" and stuff too.

Reminds me of Eric Sloane's map of Roosevelt Field that Knight posted a while back, too.

I wonder if Forrest would consider himself a star boy.

Oh, yeah, let's don't forget this lush vegetating under the stars on the cover!

Stars and the solution.
I have a way of looking at the poem, where each couplet gives two clues to things performed by the actor/actress, and each stanza taken together is a clue to a famous acting/musical team.

From the first two lines of the poem I get Harrison Ford.

As I have gone alone in there?- He went "solo" in there. That's what pilots like Han Solo do. It's also what Indiana Jones did in of each his of three trials to obtain the Holy Grail in the Last Crusade, aided by his father Henry's notebook and references to the Bible (both New and Old Testaments viz. penitence, iehova, and leap of faith)

And with my treasures "bowled"? Could this refer to the opening scene in "Raiders", when he steals the gold skull, replaces it with a sack of sand, and gets chased by the bowling ball? One of the most iconic scenes in movie history and when the Indiana Jones character is first introduced to audiences. In Last Crusade the movie begins with young Indy recovering a golden cross, then losing it, before returning home by rail to Antonito, CO, where the Jones residence is/was. That's the first omega. He gets it back 26 years later and that is another possibility for "new and old." It's 1938 and the old man, Sean Connery has been captured...Later they get the grail and end up home again in Antonito. By Rail. The second omega.

By this way of reckoning, if you take both clues together, it could only mean Harrison Ford, and possibly indicate his "dad" will be nearby in a literary and figurative sense. Sean Connery when confronted by Ford about his alleged indifference said "I tried to teach you shelf reliance". This is a clever pun. Indy needed to study Henry's bookshelf and Indy needed to learn to do it "Solo", or as Sean would say, "by himshelf."

Probably nothing.

They cut right to the Chase, don't they?

Stars serve a purpose...
