This is a book of poetry that had its origins almost twenty years ago. It has been revised and brought into a little more maturity (along with its author), and, like that parenthetical expression, is not to be taken too seriously.

Create your own personal anthology to get even more enjoyment from your best loved poetry. Think of this as a self-help book for the amateur poetry-collecting hobbyist. It is also a memoirette describing my personal journey into the depths of wisdom poetry, and other fun stuff.
