| Publisher Description: The author, a psychoanalyst, has collected his philosophical poems and primitive drawings (the latter which he did while his patients were on the couch. Two categories of poems populate the book. Those in the first section, "Holding On," were mainly done in the first half of his life, and evidence a disturbed viewpoint of regretting and brooding about things. Those in the second section, "Letting Go," describe the state of accepting life as it is and living in harmony, a state which he aspired to obtain after about 40 years of his own psychotherapy. In all there are 58 poems and 50 drawingsWhile the author believes that the later poems represent emotional maturity, he does not now see himself as mature, but rather, improved. He passes on this collection in the hope that others will benefit from his journey. |
