Böcker av Susan Stoney Graham

The introduction or "lead off" to "The Selection of Poetry" begins with a philosophical discourse among a cast of Muses, each of whom offers an individual perspective of humanity's purpose and role on Planet Earth. Following the "Origins", "Debates", and "In Conclusion", the first poem, is an off-shoot of those dialogues that progress into the main body of poetry. This entire book is a brief, yet eclectic compilation of intense discussion and subsequent poetry, evoking dramatic mood within the confines of rhythm and rhyme, some of it in the similitude of Shakespearean iambic pentameter, while some other pieces remain reminiscent of Lord Byron. The combination of distinctive poems was composed over decades, and collectively kept until such time was deemed appropriate to publicly avail them.
