Unchanging Chameleon

About this ebook
A collection of poems and songs, including some older works as well as some works so recent the ink is not yet dry on the printed version. The material ranges from classically-influenced pieces ("Ariadne" and "My Helen"), philosophical observations ("Childhood's Paradise Lost") and some post-apocalypic works, both tragic ("Archiving Tears") and comic ("Ballad of the 2012 Believer"). Author Schrum has a reputation as a performance poet (reciting to backing tracks), and these works have been honed in live performance.
