Imbrication: Poems by Louis Sinclair - Louis Sinclair - Bog

December, 2016 Edition - Imbrication contains forty-one, very readable poems, written for first-time poetry readers and poets alike. About one-quarter of the poems have appeared individually in journals or magazines. All of the poems have elements that relate to the title, Imbrication-an overlapping of edges. Numerous poems in Imbrication speak to our need to be more consciously aware of, and involved with, the overlapping connection we have with what takes place in and around our lives, especially our interaction with the natural world. All of the poems relate to the author's experience living on three continents, within distinctly different cultures, over the course of the past fifty years. Most of the poems within Imbrication have elements of irony or satire because, apart from being brief and poignant, life is often ironic and satirical. These poems seek to reach deeper than the surface of specific images, and touch on concerns shared by all people.
