O knihe

Art imitates life in this passionate, intuitive collection of poems and vignettes from the author of Poetry for a Lost Opera and Poetry (Meditations) for Winners and Losers. Life is filled with ups, downs, and the rollercoaster between them. Poetry allows us to capture the essence of moments in this journey, expanding them into rich, textured explorations of the human experience. Glenn I. Greenstein's poetry does just that, giving readers the chance to zoom in on the many significant moments of a single life. As he has penned vignettes over the years, Glenn has seen the way that dogma is pounded into our heads from birth to death. From pulpits, classrooms, newsrooms, and chamber halls, culture tries to shape us into its image. But Glenn sees another way: one where, through personal reflection, expression in art, and raw honesty, we can learn to think for ourselves. Earth Poetry for Earthlings is an astounding intuitive collection of freeform poems and vignettes that challenges the status quo. These pieces encourage readers to wander, think freely, and feel every strange and wondrous emotion that life sends their way. By asking us to imagine who we might be if we could be our truest, unadulterated selves, the poems contained here will enrapture, embolden, and embody the full scope of a life. Dedicated to the author's sister, Sharon, who died of cancer, this book is the perfect read for lovers of art, liberty, and the vibrancy of life.
