Publisher's Synopsis
An Anthology of Poetry & Prose on a Variety of Themes & Subjects is the latest work by author J. Philip Goldberg. The anthology begins with a piece in three parts inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer's The Parliament of the Birds. In his piece, entitled The Parliament of the Sages, there is a debate among the sages as to whether mankind is perfectible. J. Philip Goldberg shares his musings on topics such as reason and faith, novelty, and the coronavirus pandemic . He nostalgically remembers his youth and his hometown, ponders permanence and death, and shares his thoughts on a variety of other topics. This thought-provoking and heartwarming collection is at times humorous, as the author doesn't like to take life too seriously.
