Armadillo: Selected Works 1979 to 2009 - E-book - ePub

My most impossible ambition has always been to understand human nature. So when I discovered poetry at 17, it naturally evolved into a way to express my puzzling findings. Granted that it is often myself I end up studying (the easiest and nearest subject), the focus has always been to observe and report the quaint, illogical, stubborn and silly things we continually do. The journey has included explorations into odd corners: child abuse, addiction, mental illness, religious fanaticism, and a whole host of other issues that have come up over the years.
This book contains 30 years of these observations, originally spread out in 8 chapbooks, plus some bonus material that has never appeared anywhere. Here is the world seen through the lens of a peculiar and unexpected life.
