Many Americas

These poems are a reflection of the varied and unusual life experiences of the author. The topics are as varied as life itself, and were written under the influence of the full range of human emotions. They are about the seriously tragic, the wildly absurd, the deeply sad, and the infectiously funny. They are poems about a childhood filled with doubt and confusion and an adulthood of faltering faith and persisting skepticism. The reader will quickly understand that the poems are meant to gently jab one''s sensibilities, and hopefully bring some of life''s answers back into question. That is the author''s sincerest hope.
