These poems express the reaching of the soul of mankind for fulfillment and completeness. The art and imagery here is absolutely magnificent and must be read to a true soul mate. The outstanding poetic voyages draw spectacular verbal images of humanity beset by the worst of all inhumanities, war. The visions touch the soul of mankind, open the sores of fears, grief and hopelessness and sear the hearts of readers with the grim reality of conflict with a style and structure that offer a new look at recent decades of global politics. The alternative view presented broadens the perception of the ravages of war. These are pictures of mankind in agony and cannot be missed. They show scenes from a side not normally seen or expressed and outline a cold, oppressive world, controlled by an overwhelming distain for the individual, unconcern for the lives of the many and the powerless.
