{"product_id":"2940152908183","title":"Collected Poems II","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe selections for my second collection consist of “Adam's Earth” that imagines Adam's thoughts on the fall of man and the human condition. An extract from my essay: “Pyramid of Ed” offering a prayer for the earth. “Pentameter Evil” looks at evil and the age from a biblical numerological and eschatological viewpoint. It also includes a poem on human vanity and stupidity attendant to it. “Drama Free Verse” attempts to write verse without conflict with a tongue in cheek attitude. “Joy of Life in Verse” deals with misery and the impediments to joy in life. “Brattish Isles” takes a dim look at nationalism and internationalism with a focus on the British Isles. “Death is a Cabaret: A Parody” ridicules the Sally Bowles attitude toward life, Sally suggesting sybaritic living is the way to go. “Misery of Life in Verse” takes a mirror look at my previous work: “Joy of Life in Verse.” It is hopeful to an extent not apparent in the original work, and follows closely the form and meter of its antecedent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edward E.
