A collection of personal, meditative, lyrical free-verse, prose and narrative poems culled from small-press publications and the author's notebooks. A man watching the sunset on the Illinois prairie suddenly realizes he is looking into the past. A hunter encounters a madman who changes his perspective. A mother listening to the sounds of a baseball game grieves for a son who has lost his way. A walk through the Art Institute of Chicago becomes a meditation on the human condition and transforms into a litany on the creative impulse itself. Textured with insight and imagery, Anthropoets is honest and unrelenting poetry and prose from the author's bohemian rucksack.
