Product Description
by Mark E. Quirk (Author)
Meta Verse is a collection of poems that encourages readers to reflect on their values as they relate to important challenges of our time. These include degradation of our natural environment, problems related to race and ethnicity, and complications that arise with aging. In the title, Meta implies a deep level of thinking, and Verse offers a rhythmic setting that encourages thoughts and emotions. The collection provides a rich tapestry of themes that stimulate thinking about one's own thoughts, feelings, and values. It includes verses that recall the often-overlooked beauty in human nature that surrounds everyone in everyday life. The author hopes that readers will enjoy the poems and potentially achieve greater personal awareness and satisfaction.
