Kudos to Dr. Michael Lieberman, Contributing Editor of the Poet’s Pen, who has just published a new book of poems, Bonfire of the Verities. Lieberman says that these are poems of late middle age/early old age that reflect our struggles with doubt, faith, remembrance, loss, love, and what truths can be wrested from a lifetime of living and what must be discarded. A YouTube video of him reading, “Grant’s Atlas of Anatomy,” a poem about his failure to recognize that his mother’s emotional distance and declining mental state were the result of a series of ministrokes is available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwXLqwUIDJ0). The book is available from Amazon in both print and Kindle format.
