Poets, Martyrs, and Satyrs

Here are poems spanning more than forty years: poems about love, sex, death, sacrifice -- basic themes of poetry. Many of these poems employ rhyme schemes, others are in free verse, but they are all interesting, compelling, containing the kinds of conceits that will appeal both to traditionalists and modernists. A poet once said that "...the poem's conceit is more vital than its vehicle."

If you like accessible, yet many-layered verse, you will find this book of poetry most gratifying.
