He drew upon the inspiration of the masters of British and American poetry in order to begin his journey. By starting from the roots of Shakespeare, Donne, Poe, Whitman, and Eliot, he developed a style appropriate for the postmodern breakdown of structures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese poems include Michael's musings upon sonnet forms in \u003ci\u003eA Moment's Second\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLight Seeps In\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Couple Passing By\u003c\/i\u003e, and others. However, they also include works of extreme structural complexity like \u003ci\u003eMore Than Once\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eImprisoned\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAll We Ever See\u003c\/i\u003e. Beginning with the simplest of schemata, it's here that Michael first found \"a form for truth that frees its beauty.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContent Warning: drug use, violence\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Anthony Jr. Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1952240034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952240034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Six Seeds Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.14d","brand":"Michael Anthony Jr. Adams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442743881983,"sku":"9781952240034","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_074f9661-5752-4640-bb17-bc71d79fdcc0.jpg?v=1777199473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/at-the-side-of-the-michael-anthony-jr-adams-9781952240034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
