Read Her Life Is On This Table and Other Poems Storyline:
This is a collection of recent poems that explore a variety of subjects and employ styles ranging from tightly controlled rhyme and meter to blank verse and even experimental forms.The twenty-two poems in this collection are, with two exceptions, recent compositions. The poems tackle a variety of subjects, including: nature at it's best and worst; the retrograde loss of memory in the aged; theology; the circular nature of history; and the problem of whistling mailmen.The poetic forms range from tightly controlled meter and rhyme to free verse and even experimental forms, such as those used in "Mine Enemy Sleep" and "Writing a Poem".The author has found inspiration in many poets past and present, but is not tied down to a particular type of poetry. He prefers, rather, that the form should emerge from the theme and the narrator's voice.Pages of Her Life Is On This Table and Other Poems :
