Patographic Hibernates

Come with the poet on his journey of self-exploration in this varied and moving collection of poems. He willingly shares with us his moments of weakness and of pain - 'I put up a fence to keep my existence' - yet you will see how he finds strength in the order of life: night and day, cold and heat. These poems are by no means wholly intro- spective, however. Many express the poet's extreme concern for man and his vulnerability; consider the words 'Here you can see how small tall can be' in his description of the attack on the World Trade Center. Some poems will delight you with their sheer wordplay, when the poet throws out words one after the other purely to entertain. It is the clever blend of the personal and the universal along with a sense of pure fun which makes these poems a great read.
