Days Like Old Parchment

About the Book

Like nothing you´ve ever read before, these poems are intended to delight, amuse, engage and occasionally confound, whether you consider yourself to be a reader of poetry or not. The "speaker" of each poem seizes the reader´s attention from the very first line, taking that unsuspecting soul on a journey into the poem´s unique interior. Be prepared to be surprised, appalled, confused, amazed and made to laugh, sometimes all in the same poem.
