When Words Escape You, You Can Use Mine - Ed Roberts - Bog

This is the fifth poetry collection written by Ed Roberts. His writing is influenced both by his long Oklahoman and Native American heritage as well as by national and international topics including cultural, political, and social issues. Different organizations refer people to his poetry web site to fight alcoholism, drug abuse, and terrorism. Many of the poems in this book were written and shared by people in at least five different countries and his poetry reaches across many different cultures as well. As with his previous books there is a special poem "The Words of Others" at the back of this book after which there are several pages of comments readers have left in the feedback section of his poetry web site. "There are times in all of our lives when we need special words; we call these words Poetry. Sometimes we all need to be reminded just how powerful these words truly are." Ed Roberts
