Poetical Commentary

About the Book

In his third edition of Poetical Commentary, Frank Seinsheimer III, MD, continues his thoughtful reflections on this weird, wonderful, and at times, wearisome world we inhabit. He covers his experience as a grandparent, travels to Third World countries, choices made in life, aging, one’s fantasy life, anxiety, friendship, love, and the importance of our memories in determining who we really are. He hopes that somewhere in this book, you will find some nuggets of commentary that will speak to you.
