    About this ebook

    The form of the poems is traditionalrhymed verse, but the subject matter is anything but traditional. I tackle the topics that most poets either shy away from completely, or touch on in a cursory and often superficial manner. Consequently, expect the unexpected. Tradition, innovation, and knowledge are mixed in this book and, I dare to hope, the mix is a potent description of our times, as well as a philosophical look at the whole of the human condition.
