ISBN: 1420835750 ISBN-13: 9781420835755 Publisher: Authorhouse OUR PRICE: $18.95 Product Type: Paperback Published: March 2005 Annotation: Jack Cargill has selected these poems from hundreds written mostly since 1993, and has grouped them roughly under several themes. The opening section includes meditations on family and home (Texas) - generational relations, deaths, living in "exile." A catch-all "Feelings and Observations" section offers poems on social phenomena, nature, friendships, movies, music, and various other topics. A series of whimsical and humorous poems follows. The final section - "Politics, War, Religion, and Fatal Combinations Thereof" - presents Cargill's reactions to the brutalities of the contemporary American economy and society, and to a world increasingly gone mad. Sanctimonious abuses of power and murderous invocations of religion draw his special ire, and sometimes his mordantly humorous contempt. |
