Publisher's Synopsis
In this volume of poetry, there are a great variety of subjects for all to enjoy, such as the narrative of the Battles of Gettysburg and Baltimore, along with poems that are memorials to John F. Kennedy, the Titanic, Johnny Unitas and the World Trade Center. Also included are nostalgic poems, such as -The Solitary Boy,- -The Passing of the Day,- -Ode to Poetry,- and the haunting -Mistress Maiden by the Sea.- The powerful sonnets, which Mr. Kohlhepp calls -miniature explosions of profound thought- are quite compelling. He felt personal poems like -The Hero of One's Life,- which tells the story of his father and other veterans returning home from war, bearing their emotional and physical scars, and -Ode to a Dog,- a tribute to his dog Cody and his family's dogs, reflect the experiences and emotions that are universal to so many. Mr. Kohlhepp hopes that this collection of poems will help to illuminate the minds and souls of its readers.
