John Louis Cimasi's Verses from a Life, Volume II: A New Collection of Poems offers readers more of the lyrical expression and varied themes that make Cimasi such a complicated yet accessible poet. Whether musing on life, love, death, or playful allegories, Cimasi continues to delight and challenge his fans.
Cimasi's love of music touches these poems in their expressivity, rhyme, and meter-and the last in the collection are in fact song lyrics. From one poem to the next, Cimasi jumps from the solemn and thoughtful to the passionate and playful, always keeping readers wondering what awaits them on the next page.
A cutting critic of human foibles, Cimasi is nonetheless passionate about the enduring nature of the human spirit-a passion apparent in such poems as "Be Fabulous in Failure" and "The Fearsome Path of Success."
Cimasi is as at home weaving classical and mythological references into his verses as he is exploring the intricacies of contemporary life, religion, and philosophy. Welcome to a vibrant, exciting world of insightful, soul-touching poetry that will expand your vision and reveal new pathways of thought.
