Contemporary Poetry : Authorhouse : 9781418420819 : 1418420816 : 21 Oct 2004 : Poetry is analogous to a good bottle of wine; for as wine is to the palate, so is poetry to the soul. Plumb the depths of these pages and there uncover the intricate diligence of diction. Lose yourself in the "Shangri-La" depicted therein; discover yourself in 13th century Scotland; journey to the Continental Divide, then trek 3,300 miles of Rockies from New Mexico to Alaska. Let your children read the admonition to "Youth" or walk "God's Little Acre" then soar into the ethereal to "Adulate Him". In a time subjugated by video games and satellite television, juxtapose literature and discover its lowly influence. However, for those of us still literary passionate, these pages will give you and your family many hours of pleasurable reading.
