Half Full, Half Empty, or Just a Glass of Unpredictable Life by Harold Whisman

$17.99

 

Half Full, Half Empty, or Just a Glass of Unpredictable Life celebrates the things in life that put a smile on our faces, decries the things that change that smile into a frown or a scream, and ponders many other things that make our lives so surprising and unpredictable.  These poems speak of family, friends, and lovers as well as a visionary’s horrifying dream, an overabundance of trash, a lawn display, and the world of nature.  Although these poems are written in a range of forms, including concrete poetry, sonnet, haiku, and free verse, the language is clear and straightforward, adhering to Ted Kooser’s belief that an “accessible poem can be of use to an everyday reader.”
