Am I Indigenous? And Other Poems - Carl Scott Harker - Bog

Here is the author's third book of poetry. This book contains poems written over the last 2 plus years.From late 2016 to August 2019, the world has experienced a tremendous increase in social and environmental pressures and this poet could not escape such influences. Whether it was the day to day corruption oozing from the White House or the more and more obvious climate crisis, world events have seeped into our lives. In the search for truth, it is in such times as ours, that it is the poet's job to reflect on what is going on around us. Hopefully, I have refined some of what has been pressed into our lives into poetic fine vintages for you to enjoy and ponder. There are poems about our environment and the climate crisis. And there are poems about the current President of the United States. Other issues of our times are touched upon as well.But this book also contains lighter verse, including a couple of limericks and several quatrains. And there are the usual searches for beauty and universal truths, that are found in our regular and more common daily events. So captured here in these poems is a slice of time I hope you, the reader, will find both entertaining and thought provoking. And with some humility, I hope that future historians will find some value in this book of poetry when they seek to understand what was going on in these years.
