These Poems Were Not Written by a Robot (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977270597)

These poems provide for readers what Harold Bloom deems "difficult pleasure." The intellectual challenges in many of these poems can educate and inspire-- with the reader's participation. Also, they may elicit a chuckle or two if the irony is recognized. Some are political, laced with scathing satire that may offend. Various personae speak in the first person; only a few represent my philosophy of life and politics. I have tried to put the best words in the best order. I have used the sonnet form, believing that the modern reader has little patience with longer poems in this Age Of Impatience . Other collections include the following: Multiverse, Poetic Jazz, Semantic Antics, Poems For An Impatient Age, A Few Hundred Original Poetic Monologues, and Mugsy ( a play).
